Epic Katelyn Tuohy vs Krissy Gear Duel In 4x1500m National Record Race 

Yes, Very Smart.

Not really...maybe you can't read.

Touhy had a better time just started behind too much when she got the baton.

@@miguelsuradevi2014 tuohy was about 2 seconds behind gear when she got the baton, dug deep and ran 4:09, she did her best.

I think toughy might have kicked a little too early in my opinion

@@sriavula she knows gear has faster 800m speed than her so she was trying to distance herself early on

@@CL-oi6im oh makes sense

Her teammates need to give a little better chance! She's good but having to use up so much energy to reel in the leader is rough!

Katelyn needs for experience at this level of competition. She did a great job!

@@anoka114 It's a full team effort. Remember that NC State had quite a lead going into the third leg. Katelyn seems to appreciate the team environment maybe more so than she did in high school.

Those two should just get a bedroom already.

@@kovy689 Stop trying to make it happen. It's not going to happen.

Blah Blah Blah. She will choke or get caught on a drug test . Wait and see .

There were many others they just were not able t I sustain it in college afterbirth juries pandemic etc. Even touchy took a while to click and heal. Now is she is in a mission like in high school. I just hate to see people unknowingly.loik past all t he other 4avers accishment fir one once in a lifetime runner. They need recognition as well when they do well and win. Especially Greer here she outran the champ her team has the new record but touchy gets all the praise. You would not even know this.

Thanks for that analysis - was so surprised to see Gear come back.

@@enwezornzegwu2494-I think Tuohy is going to surprise people in this event over the next few years. She first came to people's attention breaking age group 1500 records. Also she ran a 15:14 5000 solo last week. That is a big effort and will leave some fatigue. Realistically she ran 15:14 and 4:09 in the span of about seven days.

4:09 was a PB for Tuohy!!!

I wish there was a video of that 15.14. Amazing run!

4:09 just seven days after a 15:14 🤯⚡️💪🏻 tuohy tough!

These ladies are all crazy......a great Crazy!

@NOTREALLY HANKAARON katelyn tuohy won her races, she won her 1500m vs pros and won her 5000m with her ncaa top time 15:14 then this 1500m relay they lost to arkansas but katelyn ran the fastest with 4:09

@NOTREALLY HANKAARON ​ you're the epitome of LOSING, you are stuck at your miserable life hating on such young and promising athlete who has already accomplished more than you could dream of. What a sad life you have, maybe you live alone and lost your way in life, get a dog or something. I feel so sad for you.

@NOTREALLY HANKAARON tuohy has never lost an individual race this season.. and in this race they lost the 4x1500m relay but she ran the fastest split and the fastest 1500m of the meet 4:09

@NOTREALLY HANKAARON Still waiting on that fact check :P

Yeah, reminds me of the 10Km race showdown btwn Prefontaine & Virén...

just try to run that last lap of 64 seconds with them ha! I hear ya, broke 5 in the mile once in my life. Takes some serious mental toughness to run the middle distances (and hell 2hr marathons are a sprint at 440 pace nowadays!)

The other commentator did not know Gear, calling her Keri and Greer. Gordon knew Krissy Gear but was so into the race that he just repeated what his partner said "Greer"

Tuohy was 4:09.5 - 4:10 (tough to get when you cant see the baton pass). She started 2 seconds or so behind Gear

You don't win by running faster, you win by crossing the line first.

@@phillylifer he wasn't saying that tuohy won, he's saying her 1500m leg was faster than gear's. Tuohy received the baton a few seconds after Gear, and she also made up the huge gap, which makes her split faster even though she didn't win the race.

Of course since Gear finished first it didn't matter that she didn't run a faster leg. Looked like she was at pretty much max effort, but we don't really know that she couldn't have run slightly faster if she needed to.

Yeah, I was pretty annoyed that the camera didn't show the gap between Gear and Tuohy at the last exchange.

she has used up energy reeling gear in, shes at disadvantage in a head to head kick and gear has 2:04 speed, tuohy is more of a distance runner with crazy speed but shes up against a true mid distance runner

Given Tuohy ran a 4:09 I don't think it mattered (she can only go so fast regardless of when she makes a move). She had to make up a big deficit and used a lot of energy in the process. Starting with the big lead Gear didn't have to expend as much energy and most likely would have had more for the finish no matter how it transpired.

I feel like she's not a kicker though, she seems to perform better when she takes the lead and runs it out of her competitors. It's just tough to anchor a 4x15 taking the baton at a deficit because unless your kick is amazing it's tough to go take the lead and still have time and energy to run it out.

She needs "weight training" as well.

We'll see come championships. My money is on Lauren for outdoors

What about the Grier woman?

I think if Tuohy would have waited on that girl's shoulder until the last 200m, she could have won here.

If she would have waited for the last lap she would have had a chance but she spent her energy trying to pull away in the middle of the race

@@bloodspartan300 Losers live in the land of ifs, would've, could've, maybes and should've. IF...IF...IF...IF...IF -> ha ha ha ha ha

Have 16:27.02 ?

They don't rebuild, they reload.

EXACTLY....this is what Tuohy needs she has to learn how to race and not run she has to work on her kick but also has to know unless she is going to put over 10 seconds on someone there is no need to make a move at 500m+ next race she will just ride her shoulder longer and make that move with 200-300m to go, she has to be able to know when she makes the move she can go full speed to the finish. At this level and these short distances you are not putting away someone who is basically your equal...especially considering she had to work to close the gap so she already made one move. Congrats to Gear on a great race and Arkansas for smashing the record. Touhy I think will keep working to possibly break 4 before her NCAA career is over, this is her first real outdoor season coming off off COVID shorter training and injury.

Those two should just get a bedroom already.

@NOTREALLY HANKAARON get off your mom's basement, and please you're too old to hate on a very successful young girl, get a life, touch some grass. yikes.

Stay healthy and get her drug cycle down pat .

@NOTREALLY HANKAARON Yes, she doesn't usually win by kick, but by being in front early and far ahead. The pace was so fast she never stretched out her competitors. The fact she started behind by 20 yards was another factor. I felt the relay was won with the 3rd leg. Tuohy gave a game try, but couldn't make up the ground and outkick her opponent.

She may have run a time trial, meaning even though her public pr may be 4:12, her time trial pr could be much faster. Also fun fact, She ran a 4:09 in this race.

@@mr.mastermine7083 there was no time trial time that the public knew off, he was talking about PRs, and for tuohy its just 4:12 and gear had faster pb of 4:09 but yea tuohy cut down 3 seconds after running 4:12 just a month ago

They were wrong and it was corrected by Gordon I think to include the 4:09 from last year.

@@JF-dy2dr yep heard it

tuohy was undefeated for 3 years in cross country since her sophomore year till graduating hs and has 150+ wins in track.. has 5 gatorade trophies, 3 national titles in xc, 9x new balance champion, 5x dmr national champion, 4 national records and many more.. oh shes a valedictorian 4.59 gpa

"Sit and kick." Touhy: What's that?

She's not as fast at this distance as other comments have documented. The right strategy doesn't make up 3 seconds over 1000m. You can be the best and not the best at everything.

She did 4:09

Having to catch up, many don't realize how that takes a lot out of runners. Gregory was the deciding factor........ Smart to put her where she was.

@@lorimart747 sadly people don't realize how big a 2 second gap is in a fast 1500m race.. tuohy did amazing, indeed the Gregory-gear tandem as the last 2 legs were too much for tuohy.. I believe she could have done and ran faster if she rested for 2 weeks coz she was not well rested, she ran a hard top time of 15:14 5k race 7 days prior to this race, that has some effect on the legs

@@cheryl6765 How come I cannot find her 5000 M race? It is like no one taped it. Ridiculous!

@@lorimart747 found a short clip of it, when you search her name

shes actually faster than katelyn, senior krissy gear has 2:04 800 and 4:09 1500m and is an experienced relay runner ~ they are the dmr national champs too ~ really really good race by both teams 💪🏻😤

Gears best was the ending....... The TWO BEST legs were Tuohy and Gregory!!! I am not downplaying the other women at all......They're all amazing!

@NOTREALLY HANKAARON You spend an inordinate amount of time slagging on Tuohy. Did she swipe left you or something?

katelyn tuohy ran 4:06 at ACC Championships, watch the race on our channel!

all 8 runners for both teams ran very well.
