12/07/2019 - You missed the point. let's see where they'll be in 5 years. And it's also very likely that someone who didn't make it past NXR or Footlocker will surpass them all.
You mean like Tuohy? Remember when Tuohy was the candidate for her age group? Parker left her behind and a younger Addy Wiley also did. This thread aged very well.
3:34 (3:33 is CR)/12:57 CR/26:52 CR, XC 2nd vs. 8:35/15:03, XC champ.
Isn’t the 3000 a CR? I imagine Nico would give his 2 indoor titles for an XC title but who knows, and I agree at this point he has edged ahead of her. But I wouldn’t wanna guess who will be better in 2-4 years, who f’in knows. Just as this answer has flip flopped a couple times since Rojo’s post, it may continue to.
Edged? Young has enjoyed an unprecedented improvement from being beat by 26 seconds at NCAA XC, to 26:52 and even becoming one of the best 1500m NCAA 1500m runners. This won’t happen to Tuohy, or any other American runner.
Although it’s extremely unlikely she’ll approach Young’s level, her making a comeback and challenging Valby is not out of the question.
