2022 DI women's NCAA cross country championship | FULL RACE

[@CapAnson12345]

Valby's raw talent is incredible. But Katelyn is world class at this point. Also good to see Kelsey Chmiel do great.

[@alstory8375]

Love to see Valby transfer to NC State.

[@stephenkennedy3145]

Nice to see someone mention Chmiel she has been rock solid all season

[@alidamau5925]

Valby’s fitness is great but she hasn’t had to race tactically all season.

[@katelyntuohyfans]

Katelyn and Kelsey went 1-2 in the points because Valby isn't part of the point system. Amazing 1-2 punch!! Empire State represent!

[@onetwothreefour-s1n]

Is kelseys eligibility for cross over or does everyone get the covid year? Chmiels cross career is woefully overlooked/ overshadowed. 4 time top five at high school national Champs and 9, 6, and 3 at college nationals. Like katelyn she was able to successfully navigate high school to college. No small feat.

Great race that did not disappoint! Anyone watching these CC races this year knew it would come down to Valby and Tuohy. Valby ran a great race imo and put as much pressure as she could on Tuohy.. but Katelyn rose to the challenge as elite athletes do and took her down. Congrats to both runners, some other great performances, and NC State for the team honors. Well done!

[@jamesknight3511]

The coverage of this race was phenomenal. Loved the emphasis on the team race, the picture in picture shots, and super knowledgeable commentators. Great use of the technology to track the runners, especially the top team's 5th runner. Please do this every year. It would be great to see this level of coverage for the regional meets too.

[@icarus8471]

Tuohy ran a brilliant race. The way she reeled Valby in was impressive. And props to the commentator for mentioning Nevada Mareno. She has had quite a journey and she stepped up big time to clinch the title for NCST.

[@massimopicca]

Amazing poise by tuohy to not panic when valby went out that hard. She knew exactly what she was doing for the entire race.

[@willstuart4504]

If Valby is a graceful Gazelle... Touhy is the powerful Lion hunting her down!! What a performance by BOTH these incredible Athletes 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I've never actively searched a college NCAA Cross Country final in my life, before today.😏 And I must admit... the hype for this Battle did NOT disappoint. I'll also admit my prediction was wrong..... even though Touhy got the better of Parker in the Track season NCAA 5km Final, I thought Parker's improvements since then, and that graceful steady stride of hers, would be the difference here today. I was wrong, and I'll never underestimate Katelyn's POWER and will to win again. She simply dug deep, didn't panic when many would have early on and roared to an incredibly impressive WIN!! And can we take a second to appreciate the raw natural talent Parker possesses. WOW... What a race..!!👍👍

[@IRex-wm9pd]

19 women under the course record!! amazing. and Tuohy is incredible but the hero for NC State was probably Nevada Mareno placing WAY ahead of what she was expected to. Also, if Alabama had had a strong 5th they would have won easily.

[@mylifeisJDM]

19:10 yes! Props for pointing out Mareno and Rauber stepping up. Tuohy, Chimiel, and Bush were outstanding as usual. Bush passed 20 runners in the last 1K! But Mareno and Rauber executed when they needed it the most and came in clutch!

[@johnpetrig6949]

NM first 5 across. Great Job Lobo ladies!! Young team, stay together and win it all next year!

[@15minoffame]

The afterburner by Touhy was something to behold. I thought Valby had the race won when she was eight seconds ahead, but it wasn't enough! (11/19/22)

[@Robertjames525]

Valby was 13 seconds ahead actually!

[@tenningale]

Tuohy has one hell of a motor. Seems like Valby left a few seconds on the course with the way she's running a little further than she needs to. Turns aren't tight and seemed like she was veering off course and almost running the wrong way at 5:15?

[@lisasoar8448]

Great race. I love Valbys running style, it looks so effortless. Tuohy has just so much more raw power.

[@ljn5232]

Holy moly. Tuohy is an absolute baller. Love the announcers 'jaws music' comment.

[@MrRandallia]

I was amazed to see Valby say in an interview after the race that she doesn't know how to identify tangents on the course and ends up just following the cart. You can see examples of her running extraneous distance at 5:15, 11:02, 12:56, 14:05. In the last example you can see Tuohy runs a straight line while Valby runs an "S" shape. All small inaccuracies, but altogether they probably add up to a number of seconds lost. It'll be interesting to see the Tuohy-Valby rivalry develop this coming track season where this difficulty won't come into play.

[@peterdvideos]

Interesting observation!

[@machineofadream]

Very good analysis. The announcers pointed out when she took the lead that one of the advantages of leading a race is being able to run the perfect line through the course. To blast into the lead every race, then not take advantage of the tangents seems counterproductive. Also, all of the other women in the 10 ten equalled or surpassed Valby's final split, some of them significantly. It makes me wonder if Valby could run faster with a more measured pace throughout the rest of the race.

[@Robertjames525]

Fooking excuses, tuohy is 3-0 against valby so far bud!

[@machineofadream]

@@Robertjames525 I wouldn't think that anyone who watched this race thinks Valby could have won just from running the tangents better, but it's still worth discussing.

[@runuphill]

@ 11:56 into the video, Tuohy has already broken from the pack to chase after Valby. But, of course, that moment she accelerated away from the pack was completely missed.

[@prof.snopes6239]

I really love Carrie as a commentator. She talks to so many people and is also knowledgeable about whats going on.

[@professor_thunder]

Those who have raced at the competitive level knew it was over (seeing the screen shot) @13:42. Katelyn letting Parker put that amount of distance between them was surprising but the outcome was not. KT is on another level of talent for which training cannot match. Cheers to Parker for giving it her all.

The NCAA finally gets it right by showing the runners crossing the finish line instead of always showing the winner on camera the entire time after the win.

[@AngelaGrace2]

Parker ran a much longer race than the others, way out in the center instead of close to the inside curves. Similar to running a track race in Lane 8. She may have conserved energy and won the race without the extra distance. Congratulations to Katelyn! Thanks for the coverage.

Going out quick and hard is school level basic running until a college coach instils smarts. And if one can run fast in kms 3-4 one can save that speed until kms. 5-6. Metal attitude and belief is paramount.

[@stephenherring]

These commentators must be watching a different race. They talk about Valby cutting the tangents and (in fact) she did not cut the tangents on most of the curves. She left 8-10 feet and more from the edge.

Parker Valby is good, and also a cutie pie.

[@JohnJohn-cu7nk]

Cook is gonna kill it next year. Kaitlyn and Valby are gonna get a run for their money.⚡

[@kevinkasp]

In her interview afterwards, Parker Valby said she thought after the last incline there was 800 meters to go. Then when she realized she was wrong - there was less than 200 meters - she knew she had no shot at Tuohy. That’s why you don’t see Parker gritting her teeth, or pumping her arms ; she never got the chance to sprint to fight it out. She also said she’s still clueless about how to take the tangent path around curves and so she always ends up running way wider and longer in big meets. Her coach needs to show her the course on Google Earth and then take her in a golf cart through the course a couple times before a big race. I’m looking forward to a rematch of the 5,000 meter track championships. Last year Tuohy outkicked Parker, but Parker had only been back to running for two weeks due to an injury.

[@josephoneil3093]

Wouldn’t have mattered really.

[@strawdog336]

She just didn't have it unfortunately. I like that she took it out, and frontrunning like that is brave. She has had lots of time to familiarize herself with the course though. Perhaps she was cross training instead of previewing the route on her feet!

[@Robertjames525]

Excuses excuses

[@mylifeisJDM]

Poor racing strategy, she didn't even and refuses to run point-to-point. Regardless, she's only 20, the best of her running career has yet to take off.

[@jason561120]

The thing is, last year was the first Katelyn had been healthy too, and she still wasn't 100% for the 5000. Valby just started running longer distances last year I think, the drop she made in her PRs on the track was really impressive!! First time in a long time it looks like we have two young women who could be top contenders on the international scene.

Beautiful race and an amazing group of talents. However, how many of them will shine internationally? NCAA is such a demanding program for long-distance runners all year long (especially indoor) that very, very few of them manage to stay in top shape for the summer season, and in the long run, very, very few of them manage to have a long fruitful career after university to represent the USA.

[@machineofadream]

It's not that they aren't doing well on the international scene, it's just that it's so incredibly competitive. Of course only the best of the best will do well in international competition. In an individual sport the stakes are much different. Being the 200th best basketball player in the world mean you're a career NBA player. In running you're the best or nobody cares.

[@SergeLabelle]

@@machineofadream Thank you for your comment. As a former national and Olympic coach in long-distance events (Canada), I've seen numerous talented runners from the USA worn out after a very busy indoor season, not even making the final in major summer championships and it saddened me because I knew they could do so much better. This is why all my athletes refused any NCAA scholarships. At the same time, you are right when saying that they get no recognition by being 8th in the world and probably enjoy being a superstar at home (winning NCAA).

Nice race, congratulations to all, however, The only thing that’s cross country about this race is the hills, it not exactly like trail running, true trail running isn’t always about speed but about navigating a rolling rough obstacle course, requiring strength and endurance, avoiding ruts and rocks etc etc…
