4. Solo Records Are Hard, Can Tuohy Push The Pace for 25 Laps?
(Girls 5K)
NXN Champion and 5K phenom, Katelyn Tuohy (NY) is ready for some records this season. All XC season she dominated her competition and took down course record after course record. She went on to win the NXN national title in a record 16:44 clocking.
To put that in perspective, her speed rating would put her as Loudoun Valley's #4 on their guys' team.
Tuohy certainly has the speed and endurance to take down the national record (15:55) but it will be tough doing it in a solo-effort. The field will be small, ideal for records, but she will still have to hit the splits.
You can take one thing for certain, the raucous crowd at the VA Showcase will be doing its' part in helping her crank out 25 laps at 38.2 pace!
