The list of accolades continues to grow for Katelyn Tuohy.
On Wednesday, USATF announced that the talented runner from NC State won the USATF Athlete of the Week after her phenomenal championship win at the NCAA Cross Country National Championship.
Her performance also helped the Wolfpack back-to-back team championships.
Tuohy erased a 12 second deficit against the University of Florida’s Parker Valby to take the win with a time of 19:27.7, which set the course record. Valby finished as the runner-up.
“I wanted to catch Parker by the time I hit that sharp turn to the uphill,” Tuohy said in a recent interview with Rivals. “I used that uphill to gap her a little bit and finish strong in the downhill finish. I don’t think it has sunk in. After each race, I just go on to the next. I want to keep running fast and keep winning would be the encore for next year.”
The talented junior has accomplished many things during her time at NC State. She’s a six-time All-American, and on the track, she’s won an ACC Indoor title in the 5k, an ACC Outdoor title in the 1500, and the National title in the 5000m.
