I'm going to say that Katelyn's race and everyone elses race, at NXN was compromised due to weather and running conditions. Very cold, wet, and extremely muddy with runners going down all over the place, katelyn could have easily have lost that race on that alone. But no she gutted it out with numb feet and hands won anyways. Under circumstances like that, you're lucky to finish without falling or getting injured. To win and get pushed by some talented girls who have been chasing her for 4 years and only catch her because of a mid year injury and a bad weather race? Nah, Dudek has had a stellar year, don't get me wrong, but a Touhy matching year? You've lost your mind buddy! I'm calling shenanigans and say this a case of people loving to hate on number 1. This is like choosing anyone in the NBA over Jordan in his prime as MVP of the league and using shotty arguments and completely ignoring all the details to justify them. As for anyone arguing whether she isn't the greatest highschool runner of all time, which I suspect you would, you probably would lose, but even if you didn't, she is most certainly and without question the greatest long distance runner of all time. And to argue against that is just futile because no male or female highschool runner has dominated, so absolutely, the entire country year after year the way she has. And oh yeah, why didn't Dudek run NXN knowing Touhy would be there? I know why. Dudek likes to win. If she wanted to race the best Touhy was right there waiting for her. You want to be the best? You don't race at another meet. You go where the best is and beat them on their own turf.She wouldn't have at NXN. Touhy was the two time defending champ and has times that smoke Dudeks at her best that aren't near Touhy's best. SMH. You've done everyone a disservice here.
