Q & A With Tuohy:
Could you give us a brief recap of how your running went during your freshman year of high school?
My freshman year started off strong, in cross country I placed 2nd at states, 13th at nationals and led my team to a State Federation Championship. The strong cross country season flowed into winter track where I broke Mary Cain's national freshman 1000m record. I also anchored my team in the DMR to a 1st place finish at nationals. Spring track, my favorite of the three seasons, was very successful. We started of fwith a 1st place finish in the DMR at Penn Relays, followed by many personal records including 4:18 in the 1500m to win my first state individual title. This time was U.S. #1 for the 2017 spring season. I capped the season off placing first at nationals in the mile.
How did it feel to break Mary Cain's mile record?
Breaking Mary Cain's record was a huge accomplishment. Mary Cain is an idol of mine. Being able to break her records gives me great hope for the future.
Was that in your race plan that day?
The plan going into the race was to give it my best effort, getting the record was just the icing on the cake.
Are you nervous before a big race?
