Tuohy goes out too fast while Brown seems much better at pacing. Expect some huge national records next year for Brown.

That seems like a broad statement. One could argue when she set the 1 mile and 5,000 m records her pacing was perfect. But in some "competitive" races she has gone out too fast. She has also let pre race pressure affect her on some occasions (Millrose mile and 2019 NXN). One might say she is human.
We will have to see how Brown performs if she gets similar pre race build up.
I was shocked to watch the workout that Flotrack posted yesterday. Tuohy ran 4xmile in 5:30. Brown ran 4xmile in 4:55 2 weeks ago. She is going to set records that are going to stand for a while.

For some context that Tuohy workout was fairly early in her XC season and she was not in top shape at that point. It was also not supposed to be a hard workout - a workout 2 days later was supposed to be "hard". Also note by the end of the season Tuohy ran the 6K Club XC race at a faster pace than that 4 x 1600 workout (20:11).
All that being said, I don't think Tuohy was really in 9:40 shape at any time 2019-20. Perhaps she hoped she was when she ran the pro 3000, but that did not turn out well.
I continue to hope Brown's body can tolerate the level of training she is doing. If so, she will run some fast time, no doubt.
No scholarship limits anymore! (NCAA Track and Field inequality is going to get way worse, right?)
