Women's 5000m - 2022 NCAA outdoor track and field championships

[@icarus8471]

Huge congratulations to Katelyn. To win the 5000m as a sophomore despite all the pressure is a great achievement.

[@jonjonjrfrmcali]

Not to mention she's a member of several honor societies, has a GPA of 4.0 with advanced studies on top of that. How amazing is that?!

[@PrentisHancock1]

Fantastic performance from Katelyn. Avenging her indoor defeat by Taylor Rowe, and showing she's moving swiftly into senior world class!

[@katelyntuohyfans]

She will run against "senior world class" competition at USATF Outdoor Championships in this same venue on June 23-25 ! !

[@annasdad8008]

“Senior world class” is a whole different level. This same track will host the US Nationals in a few weeks (June 23-26) then the World Championships July 15-24 (first time ever in the US). To make the US team for Worlds an athlete must be among the top three at Nationals who have met qualifying times. For the women’s distance events on the track they are: 4:05.70 for 1500, 15:13 for 5,000. According to the USATF official listings there are currently 12 women automatically qualified by time for the 1500 meters and 8 women automatically qualified for the 5,000 meters. Tuohy does not have an automatic qualifying time in either distance but is high enough among the non qualifiers so she should get an invitation to Nationals based on ranking (3rd among non qualifiers for 1,500 and 1st among non qualifiers for 5,000). Note that the top 3 women in the 1,500 all have times under 4:00 and the top 4 women in the 5,000 all have times under 14:55 (with the fastest, Elise Cranny, at 14:33.17).

[@maria-xp4qq]

not only that but the amount of pressure she has coming into this race was off the roof

[@peakdavid]

@@annasdad8008 Good analysis. Keep in mind that this was a pretty pedestrian pace for two-thirds of the race. Everyone was keying off Katelyn, who kept cool until Parker's late surge. With an honest pace, KT could have been close to 15:00.

[@peakdavid]

@@frankiek2269 I would take some bets that she will be under 15:00 by the end of this outdoor season.

[@jonjonjrfrmcali]

People were bashing Kate at the start of NCAA when she couldn't even place. But I knew she was still recovering from major knee surgery. She was thinking about her future rather than the next win. It takes a full year to recover from knee surgery and that's for normal people not counting D1 distance runners. Katelyn is not only a strong runner she is a smart runner. You have to credit her great coaching. This race proves that she is certainly the real deal and she has a bright future ahead barring any further injuries.

[@olib2336]

To the producers of this NCAA Championships channel: I've noticed on more than a few of these KZbin videos that the volume is extremely low, so much so that ads running during playback run intolerably loud. Notwithstanding that problem, providing these videos on KZbin is much appreciated, especially for track and field, which doesn't get much coverage on general TV networks.

[@TheJhtlag]

Yeah, it was, I had my volume turned all the way up and they were barely understandable. Was slightly afraid they would fix it mid race and blow out my speakers. Even the lowliest vloggers have some understanding of volume, the big, bad NCAA can't do the same?

Katelyn ran like she owned the race She ran smartly tru the entire race and did what she does at the end Her strength at the end of the race is amazing considering she is not as tall as other runners She is always so composed and enjoys running like the true champion she is.

[@stowers157]

Just incredible! I have NEVER been interested in track in my life. Katelyn is certainly making me a fan. I think most of all is that she is so much more than a great runner.

Parker Valby is underrated and deserves to be talk about more

[@MrVvulf]

I'm not sure she's underrated, especially after this competition. Her improvement this season has been pretty crazy, so it's not like she's been tearing up the tracks and everyone was ignoring her. She's been setting new personal bests back to back. Her PB went from a 15:32 less than a month ago to a 15:29 two weeks ago, and now knocked ANOTHER 9 SECONDS off her PB, posting a 15:20 today. And keep in mind, less than a year ago she posted a 16:54 (cross country). If she's been underrated, it was Parker underrating her own ability, and she's just gaining confidence and conditioning.

[@gabbs06]

@@MrVvulf yes true that’s my opinion too despite everything she has been through too you have to give her credit too

Tuohy might want to send a big bouquet of congratulatory flowers to Ms Valby. Valby not only ran fast enough to win a 1st-in-meet for her team, but also provided pacing and drafting for Tuohy.

[@Gusgossert2004]

Katelyn and Parker fought tooth and nail the whole time yet didn't seek each other out after the race. No love lost.

[@icarus8471]

Not sure about that. Katelyn seems to get along with everyone. Chmiel was her biggest rival in high school and they are teammates. I guess one thing I noticed is that Valby in two races seemed to make a point of running next to Katelyn and crowding her. It seemed like a crude psyche job attempt, maybe something her coach came up with. But KT has been running these type of races since 7th grade. Valby also did not congratulate KT after the race, but I only sw Roe and KT's teammates doing that so not a big deal. I think Valby thought she would outstrength everyone and was surprised she didn't win.

So, Wolfpack ladies take the 1, 9, 10 and 11 spots in outdoor 5k, while Kelsey Chmiel sat this season out. I think 1) NC State repeats as NCAA Cross champions and 2) their team score will be under 50, and it could be around 45. Amazing what they're doing right now as a team.
