Valby was on 19:33 pace at halfway (2.83k) so her overall pace was quite even and her second half was slightly faster.
Did you even watch the race? It wasn't that risky for her.. lol
on the track valby did the same thing. She ran next to Caitlin on the outside of her the whole race instead of trying to draft
She's a really good runner but honestly it's obvious she has no sense of tactics and basically just wings it
Not Seymour, but Nevada Moreno gets MVP! By far her best college performance in 24th, about 50 points better than target! and her time was around the old course record at 20:07.
With this performance, NC state could have won with any of Rauber 5, Seymour 6, Quarzo 7 counting as 5th runner.
Guess I underestimated how strong Tuohy was.
Valby gave a great interview, she seems quite likeable. I was rooting for KT, but as Valby said, she needed to get a lead on KT. Great race to watch.
maybe it's a senior level course at Florida?

The amount of pressure on her was about as much as can be put on a collegiate runner, and a LOT of people couldn't wait for her to get beat. Strong physically, but just as importantly super mentally tough as well. That was a fun race to watch.

Women's race at 10:20 am eastern. Men at 11:10 am. Everything on ESPNU.

I’m deeply offended by the repeated questioning about the hilly course. Is he suggesting these brave girls are over the hill? Why such obsession with mounds? What a lack of commonsense knoll-edge, tsk tsk. Such poor man-ners hanging in that crowd.
Sorry if I missed it but do we know the course records here? Mens and womens?
Now I want to see Nico win it.
People keep questioning Valby's ability on hills have never run in Gainesville.

Tuohy just set the record.

Dude I tried to talk some sense into you and tell you no one is doing drugs
I mean look at the results they're exactly what you would expect from the track results in the spring
It's obvious she was gettin A lot of mania based on running fast on short fast courses! I told you no one's doing drugs because you'd have to be an idiot to start this young and when there's no real money

You have to race as if the normal rules apply. Valby went out too fast and overestimated her strength on a tough course and Tuohy was smart enough not to go with her. If Valby was so strong she could have stayed away on that pace then there would have been nothing anyone could do. And Tuohy's training all year paid off. She kept practicing hammering the last 1.5k.
Does anyone here have Valby's splits? Did she slow in the final klicks?
I think the women's record was 20:01. I'm no sure what the men's is.

For sure this was the difference. UNM had an 11 second spread(!) and packed 5 runners into 14 spots (20-24). Even tighter than I would have thought. It was really going to be down to NCSUs #4 and #5, and #5 was not a great performance w 74 points...

She comes off as a bit race naive compared to the "old vet" Tuohy, but it is kind of charming, like she is still figuring it all out.
