Athlete: Katelyn Tuohy
Year: 2020
School: North Rockland, NY
Analysis: Katelyn Tuohy is finally in high school! The precocious runner anchored North Rockland High School to national titles in the distance medley relay at New Balance Nationals Indoor and Outdoor; her indoor effort helped set the national high school record at 11:34.85. She also ran 4:24.36 for 1500m to set the national eighth grade record this spring.
Her high level of track success this past year should translate nicely to cross country. Last fall as an eighth-grader, Tuohy placed 10th at the New York State Championship, fifth at New York Federation Championships, sixth at NXN NY Regional and closed her season with a 49th-place run at NXN. She leads a strong North Rockland squad that returns its top three and looks poised to better their 10th place team finish from 2015.
