this post & this website suck.
I'm not going to apologize for analyzing the prospects of the top 2 HSers in the country. At Letsrun we celebrate the elite side of the sport and they are elite. If they don't want the scrutiny, then don't run the races. There is no mandate that they run in a free marketing event for Nike.
I didn't say Tuohy wasn't amazing. I've just consistently refused to join the hype train for the last 2+ years. After watching HS phenom after phenom not make it, after Mary Cain, I decided, "Enough is enough. I'm not going there again." People were going ga-ga over her and wondering why we weren't talking more about her. I was like, "Because she's a 15-16 year old HS girl." Now that she's come back to earth a little bit, people are mad that we even mention her.
But the reason why I came back here is I have an update from my original post.
The Tully Speed ratings for this year's race are out and Tully got a 163. In 2018, she won with a 167. In 2017, she won with a 172. Remember, each point is worth three seconds so that means that according to the Tully Speed Ratings, the Tuohy of 2017 would have beaten the Tuohy of 2019 by 27 seconds.
