NCAA DIVISION I WOMEN Katelyn Tuohy, NC State
Junior | Distance
Stony Point, New York
Jenny Barringer (now Simpson) set five collegiate records in 2009 during her Bowerman-winning year.
Of those she set indoors, just the mile remained until Saturday.
Katelyn Tuohy, competing at the Dr. Sander Invitational/Columbia Challenge in New York, finished third in the Women's Invitational Mile in 4:24.26. That took more than one second off Barringer's best of 4:25.91 from 14 years ago. Tuohy also bettered the all-time collegiate best in the indoor 1500 meters to 4:06.49, three seconds faster than Abbey Cooper in 2014.
Back in December, Tuohy became the ninth-fastest collegian over 5000 meters indoors when she covered the distance in 15:15.92 at the Sharon Colyer-Danville Season Opener in Boston.
Put those together and Tuohy is the only female athlete in collegiate history with all-time top-10 marks in both the mile and 5000 on record-legal tracks (It should be mentioned that Simpson ran 15:01.70 on an oversized track in 2009 for the all-time, all-conditions collegiate best).
This is the first time in program history that a female athlete from NC State has been named M-F Athletic National Athlete of the Week during the indoor season
