Katelyn Tuohy didn’t win the individual race, but there’s a good reason why she didn’t. The full story only makes her legacy even greater. Meanwhile, the way Parker Valby ran away from everybody else, should take away any doubt that both of them are in a league of legends, all by themselves.

The truth is that Northern Arizona University in the Big Sky conference are the best program in all of college. They have won 6 of the last 7 NCAA titles, and they are ranked number 1 in the nation again right now.

D1 cross country does have national rankings but they often don’t reflect the final results. So here is a legitimate preview of the NCAA championships meet for cross country.

Katelyn dominated the field at the Nuttycombe invitational by more than 20 seconds like she always does. But Parker Valby of the University of Florida was even better. She beat Katelyn by more than 10 seconds who had not lost a cross country race since 2021.
