I was at the southeast regional last Friday and I did not see Kelsey walking around on a pair of crutches. She was not at the meet. The only poster on the these message boards who consistently shares accurate advance information related to the NCSU cross country team is Tuffy.
All I will say is that there is a lot of misinformation being reported on here. She did not have surgery this week. She was at regionals with the team. That is all I will report at this time so as to not provide a competitive edge to any other teams.
I think the surgery post was a joke meant to mock the rumors about her being injured. And then it became a rumor itself.
95% of people who post about nc state here aren't nc state fans, they are katelyn tuohy fans who only embrace the other runners insofar as it helps tuohy get a title for her own trophy case. once tuohy is gone nc state will have no more posts than any other top 10 team
This is true. There was almost zero talk of NC State prior to Tuohy signing with them. Now all you hear about is NC State, Tuohy, Chmiel, Bush, Henes, Tyynissmaa, every new freshmen, every high schooler who signs with them, etc. It will all end soon, thankfully. In the meant time, the NAU women are just chopping at the bit to shut up the "fans" on Saturday with a dominating performance. Sadly, even if they completely annihilate the field, 95% of the post about the meet will be about NCS. But the trophy will be on a plane to Flagstaff on Saturday evening, whether Chmiel runs or not.
You may be surprised that there is some post Tuohy love for the pack. With no more Bush, Tuohy, Chmiel, Tyyynismaaaaa you get an interesting new team next year with Stephens, Hartman, Rauber, Quarzo, Michalak plus Gapes, Loveys, Napoleon,Putnam, Quarzo2 and Hall for depth. Still good enough to start year in top 6.
I still think NC St has a decent shot at second if Tyynismaa can finish 30-35, but it is certainly not a lock
On twitter: Jonathan Gault @jgault13 · 8m NC State coach Laurie Henes says Kelsey Chmiel will not run tomorrow’s NCAA meet after sustaining a lower leg injury after the ACC meet. “The amount of swelling, we can’t manage it,” Henes said. Huge blow for the Wolfpack’s title chances — Chmiel was 3rd overall last year.
At this point, we should all just start believing these threads because 90% of the time, they're true. A lot of people saying Chmiel was healthy, the thread should be removed, etc.
I feel bad for Chmiel. She’s a good one. I don’t feel bad for the team. This is part of it. I’m happy if Wolfpack fans on here are disappointed because of the ones who have been complete as*wipes over the past year or so. The deserve worse, actually.
This probably lowers Tuohy’s odds of winning a little. When it gets tough she wont see as much of a need to fight for every point. Go Valby!
she is 100%. Citius Mag is at Charlottesville and just posted a breakdown of NC State/NAU women's matchup on Youtube and they mentioned how impactful Chimiel will be. If she was hurt they would have mentioned it. It would be a huge story.
I can see that point if view. I just think Touhy is such a team-first type of runner, and losing Chmiel of all team members is such a huge blow. However, maybe she’ll see every single point as even MORE important. I get it.
I feel bad for the NAU squad. I think they were going to win, and now the NCSt will have an excuse that will never be known how valid. NAU definitely would have wanted everyone lined up.
And, yeah, Mad Hatter outed himself for making definitive claims while not knowing jack.

Hey high school kid who talks about NAU 24/7, you were wrong. They should remove your posts.

I would be shocked if a national champ is worried about what's going on behind her. But you never know in this cupcake world. "You play to win the game"- Herm Edwards
Yeah, I agree that once the race starts, she won’t be thinking at all about those behind her. But, what is she thinking leading up to it, and how might that affect her? I don’t know the degree exactly that one’s general outlook or vision (while not running) has on performance, but I think it is more than nothing.

wow someone was wrong on a thread?? everyone should be banned then. Also MattHatter has made it clear they attended NAU and that's why they are a fan, so not a HS kid.
I wish this site could have mature discussions and debates about all our favorite sport with out constantly reverting to name calling and attacks. Too much to ask I know.
Im also a NAU fan and also feel for Chmiel in this situation. What a tough break for such a clutch runner.

They were also totally wrong about the statement “brodey hasty paces his teammate during races” which is not true. How do I know this? I’ve literally raced against him at nationals, conference, and other meets- newsflash: he’s doing his own race thing, like every one of his teammates. He’s just extremely mentally strong, he always sounds like he’s dying 4/5k in.
They were also wrong about the NC state girl who transferred from Alabama being hurt and not racing on a different thread. According to Rojo, she’s racing tomorrow.
They are also wrong in every fanfic they’ve created so far this season- it’s clear they’re in high school. Fans lie all the time. “Will this be Mike Smith’s greatest win?” Like what? If they really went to NAU, they would know that is the stupidest question they could ask.
