Katelyn Tuohy
Katelyn Tuohy is quickly becoming one of NC State's winningest student-athletes emphasis on "quickly." A junior in the Poole College of Management, Tuohy is also a blazing-fast runner on the women's cross country and women's track and field teams who has made history during her first three seasons with the Wolfpack under Coach Laurie Henes.
For instance, Tuohy became the university's first track and field student-athlete man or woman to place higher than third in an NCAA Indoor Championships race when she finished second in the 3,000-meter and 5,000-meter races during the 2021-22 season. She was also the 2022 NCAA Outdoor Champion (5,000-meter), 2022 ACC Outdoor Champion (1,500-meter) and 2022 ACC Indoor Champion (5,000-meter), and she posted the fastest 1,500-meter and 5,000-meter times of any collegian in the country in 2022.
NC State writer Taylor Pardue recently spoke to Tuohy about her decision to join the Pack, what she wants to accomplish following graduation and how private support has enabled her to Think and Do. (This interview has been edited for clarity and length.)
