Katelyn Tuohy Wins Third Consecutive National Title | Runner's World

Katelyn Tuohy, a 17-year-old senior from North Rockland High School in Thiells, New York, concluded an extraordinary high school cross-country career today by winning Nike Cross Nationals (NXN) for the third time in a row. She becomes the first three-time winner of the event, which began in 2004. Her time, 17:18.4, was the slowest of her three wins at the Glendoveer Golf Course in Portland, Oregon, but the race took place in heavy rain and cold temperatures—after the boys’ race had already turned the course to mud. In Tuohy’s previous two NXN victories, she set course records: Last year she ran 16:37.8 and in 2017 she ran 16:44.7, winning by large margins both times. ------ #nike
