Katelyn Tuohy

Katelyn Tuohy (born March 18, 2002) is an American professional middle- and long-distance runner.

She is a four-time individual NCAA Division I champion. In high school Tuohy won five Gatorade Player of the Year awards and was the 2018 Track & Field News High School Girls Athlete of the Year.

Katelyn Tuohy comes from suburban Rockland County, New York. She has two brothers: a younger brother, Ryan, and an older brother, Patrick, also a successful cross country runner for North Rockland High School, who now runs track at Fordham University.

At ten years old, while running with her parents, Patrick and Denise Tuohy, she was noticed by her future coach, Brian Diglio.

Encouraged by her family, she began setting age-group records in the 7th grade, retiring marks set by earlier high school phenom Mary Cain.

Tuohy attended and competed for the North Rockland High School Red Raiders. In the 2017 Cross Country season during the Manhattan College XC Invite, in the Bronx, New York, she took 32 seconds off the historic Van Cortlandt Park course record with a time of 13:21 for the 2.5 mile / 4 kilometer event. She then later won the Nike National cross country (NXN) championship on December 2, 2017, as a sophomore with a 5K time of 16:44.7 to cap an undefeated season. Tuohy won the event by 40 seconds, trimming 12 seconds off the course record, despite cold and muddy conditions. The Rockland County legislature honored her victory, declaring December 19 as "Katelyn Tuohy Day."

On January 20, Tuohy set the U.S. national junior and high school 5000-meter record, when she ran 15:37.12, bettering the time of 15:45.46 set by Mary Cain in 2013.

In May, she became the fastest US high school outdoor 3200-meter runner of all time, running 9:47.88. In June, she ran the second fastest U.S. outdoor time ever in the country by a high school girl for 3000 meters with a time of 9:09.71. Also in June, on the 17th at the New Balance Nationals in Greensboro, North Carolina, Tuohy won the mile by over 15 seconds, breaking Polly Plumer's 36-year high school outdoor mile record with a 4:33.87.
