another week, another groundbreaking performance by Katelyn Tuohy.
Elise Cranny, besides being a US champion and Olympian, was a high school prodigy in her own right. And Katelyn just took her down.
Since we spend a lot of time talking about where girls went wrong, just want to reflect on the things that went right with Katelyn.
--She stuck with her high school coaches, didn't have private coaches. Her coaches encouraged her to run and do LESS.
--She was an unapologetic team player. She always turned her focus outward to team accomplishments. Her teammates seem to get along with her and rally around her.
--she didn't start running until middle school.
--She is a very very hard worker.
--She doesn't engage too much with social media.
--She has a coach who threw away dexa body scans and focused on performance.
--She chose college over pros and to be with people her own age.
One thing I really liked watching this race was Tuohy's apparent poise and fearlessness. She didn't hesitate to go with Morgan when the moves started to get made, and promptly passed professional runners when she thought she could maintain a hotter pace. A more timid runner might have hung back (even if she would have still got the collegiate record). Very impressive performance on the mental level, as well as the physical. Kudos to KT.
