“She’s one of the best runners of all-time in the U.S., and everything she did was at such a high level. Some of Katelyn’s races are just jaw-dropping. I’ve coached for 25 years and I’ve never seen anything like it. Some of her workouts were even more amazing. The thing about her is that she always thinks about the team first. She wants to be part of something big and special even more than she wants to be special herself.”

Athletic Excellence

The 5-foot-4 senior won the 1500-meter run at the indoor state championship meet this past season with a meet-record time of 4:20.81, which ranked as the nation’s No. 2 performances among prep competitors indoors in 2020. The state’s two-time returning Gatorade Girls Track and Field Athlete of the Year, Tuohy is the most decorated athlete in the history of the Gatorade program and the first to win national awards in two different sports (cross country and track & field). Having won six state awards in track and cross country along with winning Gatorade national honors four times, she was also the program’s 2018 Female High School Athlete of the Year. She concluded her historic prep career with 11 individual state titles and five national high school records. Tuohy won the Nike Cross Nationals Finals three times in the sport of cross country, captured three individual track and field national championships and anchored five national title-winning distance medley relay quartets.
