Super tactically aware. Sat on the shoulder of Mercy and was always looking around to spot moves. Racing awareness on another level after racing pros all season!
Yes, but Katelyn ran further on the outside of the lane, and that cost her, too. It's not the best strategy. Once she had space and clearance about halfway through, she should have dropped back into the inside of lane 1 waiting to make her move later. Coaches are always stressing not to run further than necessary. It really big races (Olympics) it will cost you dearly.
@@bluenetmarketing meh. Better to have the “pole position” so she could dictate a move and not get caught behind by sitting in 3rd. The ease in which she ran the last 2 laps means she was 100% in control and was worth running the extra meters
It’s just plain God given talent with hard work. Only few individual in this world is blessed with this ability. God bless you Katelyn.Congratulations!
I will state right off the bat "I hate running, I love watching others run." I have watched every Katelyn running video, some more than twice, since I came across her exploits in high school. I biggest difference I have noticed is her stride, its rhythm is consistent start to finish. Most runners seem to get a bit choppy near the end of longer races, Katelyn doesn't. I will continue to watch running instead of doint it lol.
She does have a beautiful, natural-looking stride. I think many of the greats do. Seems to me the only that can stop her from being a future Olympic finalist is injury.
@@jeffvanderwerf3391 I first followed Grace Ping when she was 13 smashing 18 year olds, she disappeared and i picked up on KT after that! KT is everything i thought Grace was going to be, what a shame that we lost her.
Slower pace would just benefit her more, she has a great kick. And would even benefit her more since she didnt use a lot of energy. Tomorrow will be interesting
She is not just looking to win. As any generational talents always do, they’re looking to break records. In order for her to live up to her hype, her legacy demands records.
@@helloman3676 horseshit. she doesn't care what people like you think is her "legacy" or how much people hype her. she runs to win; record times are an afterthought.
it seems she always crosses the line with more left in the tank than anyone else. Cracks me up the way she meets and greets the others as they stumble in. Her race performance frequently reminds me of the famous line of the race announcer in Secretariat's Belmont as he stretched out his unheard of lead: "He's moving like a tremendous machine!"
What crack in the door or window are you talking about? Wasn't Katelyn Tuohy already up front. How about increased her speed or hit the go button or turned it up a notch. Found a crack?
Thanks for posting! Great to watch. Alabama made a big mistake not covering KT’s move when she made it. Congrats KT, Mercy, and the other Alabama athlete.
It amazes me watching her run. If you watch closely you notice there is very little twisting motion in her upper body. Her arms seem to be going straight forward and back and not crossing in front of her. It’s just an amazing fluid motion and it seems to save a lot of energy and helps her not fight for balance as much as it appears some of the other women do. It seems that if your upper body and arms twist in motion you have to fight just a little to maintain balance and forward motion thereby using just a little more energy in every stride. You just don’t see such a fluid motion as you see in Katlyn’s stride very often.
When Katelyn gets back down to a lower altitude, she is going to be packed with oxygen carrying capacity like never before. It may help her to set some records because of it.
Thank God for North American commentators who can pronounce the R. KT is a superhuman runner due to her mind that sorts all the challenges out. That natural "effortless" stride is part of all the greats. Those who look like they're struggling should skip athletics. "Nice and easy does it every time."

Nice race for KT. Don’t know why the ladies who are not doubling back in 3k not pushing the pace after 2k. Great strategy for KT, bad strategy for the others
Subtract about 27 seconds to see what their altitude adjusted time would be. Katelyn would have been about 15:42. I wish the other runners who weren’t doubling would have challenged themselves more, and paced themselves to run their best time possible, factoring in the altitude. But happy Katelyn has a better chance to win both events now!
Eh..I'd say she's talented because she's worked her ASS off. Whatever deity you think helped her....well prove it. Otherwise it's her hard work and some DNA that puts her where she is.
@@Wraithlen Born with a phisique for running. Of course she has to work hard to be successful. Even you have talent given to you from God. But if you do not use it - you lose it.
@@haroldgaubert7686 Sigh. Which god, exactly? There have been thousands worshipped over the last 5000+ years. The sun being the most worshipped. Oh yeah...the one you were born into. (like I was) God is made up by men. Sorry, bro.
@@haroldgaubert7686 - Nonsense. The logical position toward an extraordinary, supernatural claim is skepticism until proof is offered, and so far none of the dozens of gods that have been claimed to exist throughout history have lifted a finger to prove themselves. In fact, most believers grasp this for themselves; they automatically disbelieve all religious claims except their own, barring actual proof that never produces itself.
Why oh why oh why have championships at altitude? We want to see competitions at different elevations, yes, but not for the championship. We wanna see record breaking runs for championships.
Does anyone else wonder/worry about whether Tuohy is running too much? Why do a distance double at this level? It's not high school. You don't run a thoroughbred champion into the ground. Wouldn't it be better to run selectively and preserve her body? They held her back a bit at the start of the cross country season, but she ran the 2nd half of the season hard and immediately went into a rigorous indoor season, and now this 5K/3K double plan, and probably headed after this straight into a lot or competing outdoors. This is a girl with major pro potential. I just wonder if her running this hard year round will cost her in the long run?
She has been working to peak for this event, so two hard efforts over a 24-hour period is a common and acceptable plan for an elite athlete. Her coaches will likely lower her mileage and hard efforts for the next 6 weeks. then build up to peak again at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. I do worry about overzealous high school and college coaches over-training their star athletes, but it looks like Tuohy has been getting quality coaching.
Amazing how the NCAA record is 15:12 and these women were close to minute off of it???? That must be a pretty decent time and might not be broken for a while, at least not by the current group of women running...
@@trevorregay9283 Yes. The lack of oxygen doesn't hurt the sprinters and the less dense air is also a bonus. But once the aerobic system comes into play, the runners just can't enough oxygen into their lungs.
@@stephenbeck7222 I guess.......but at some point, a slow pace is not always going to win a race.....especially if a runner feels like they can outrun their opponents by just going for it in the final laps......
