I used to think Tuohy was untouchable…these last two seasons have really shaken that though, Parker Valby is legit. She goes out fast, finishes fast…truly a mind blowing athlete.
Parker is just casually cruising along in her Vaporflys, doesn't even need spikes to dominate :D
Edit: Vaporflys not Alphaflys
True but I wonder if it's for injury prevention
@@T1MB05L1C3 yes
Vaporflys but yea
Spikes won't help in a 5k, if anything, they increase the chances of tripping.
@@dantheman4961 never type again
It’s fun to watch greatness. She is amazing.
Beatrice Chebet breaking 29 minutes in the 10k was greatness. Parker has potential, just not quite there yet.
@@morgonz didnt Valby run the 5k under 15 minutes already? She is young, has a fantastic effortless style. I could see her hanging there with the Etiopians and Kenyans in 3-5 years.
@@peterhammer6915 Yes, she has! I am not sure if she has run under the Olympic standard. I think she needs to do it before the trials, right?
Congrats.😊❤️🙏👍
Valbymania Lives On!
29 seconds off of the facility record. Holy smokes! More than 2 seconds per lap. Comfortable, smooth, no wasted movement...
If you're not going to show the entire race then why waste time showing a false start?
Another awesome performance
Parker is really making progress
Parker Valby is the best at the 5000m, 14:52. Valby is much better than everyone else.
Not everyone, not by a long shot. Her personal best (14:52.79) is a hair slower than the Olympic qualifying time of 14:52 flat. There are several elite US women who have met that mark and are quite a bit faster than her. Ethiopian Gudaf Tsegay’s world record is 14:00.21.
I’d am sure she will get an invitation to the trials in both the 5,000 and 10,000, but making the team is another matter. She a gifted athlete and may very well may get there in the future but she is not currently a threat to the elite runners in the US much less those ar the top in the world rankings.
@@annasdad8008 Valby is #37 in the world this year and #5 in the US. Puts it in perspective and will be interesting to see how she does competing against elite/senior women and how that pushes her.
@@yjk5737 That’s an early season ranking. Collegiate runners are always ranked artificially higher in the first half of the year because their season is much earlier than that for the elite runners. If you look at the qualifying times of elite US runners you will see how unrealistic those rankings are. It’s like the Tuohy fans who kept insisting she would “just run faster” and make the team for worlds in 2022. I told them the 5000 was between 5 women, or more accurately Karissa Schweizer plus 4 others running for the other two spots. In the finals Schweizer simply ran fast enough to stay near the front then took off with 800 to go. One of the other 4 had a bad day but the three others ended up 2,3,4 and then there was a gap between them and the rest of the field. Tuohy was back in the middle of the field. This year the distance races at the trials are again really between a small number of athletes. Valby is definitely a gifted collegiate athlete, and she absolutely could become one of the top elite US women in the future, but she’s not there yet. There is a long history in the US of gifted collegiate distance runners who did well in college but seemed to vanish when they went to the next level. Maybe something miraculous will happen at the Olympic Trials later this month. While I don’t expect it that is why the trials are held. She still would need to meet the Olympic Standard even if she wins her event at the trials or she would not be on the team (the first three finishers WHO HAVE MET THE STANDARD make the team.)
As for International competition, that’s a whole different level yet again. While there have been a tiny handful of exceptional individuals the US has otherwise been rather notoriously weak at distance events. There are a small number of men and women who look to potentially be on the cusp of a breakthrough, but for now we can only wait and see. I do look forward to both the US Trials (June 21 - June 30) and the Olympics (opening ceremony July 26, track and field August 1 - August 11)
@@yjk5737 My response disappeared. In short these are early season rankings which don’t take most of the elite athletes into consideration. She has a lot of talent and potential for the future, but she is not an elite athlete yet.
The Caitlin Clark of distance running!
Parker Valby is the best at the 5000m, 14:52. Valby is much more dominant than everyone else. Parker's front running style wears down other runners and destroys the competition.
Parker Valby is well coached and had an excellent strategy this weekend. Valby continues her dominance over the other runners. Valby is the greatest distance runner of all time.
Youngest American to break 31 minutes in the 10k or youngest woman ever?
She may well be the best American female collegiate runner, but the moment we consider the Ethiopian and Kenyan runners, that changes. I think she's great. Love her attitude, but I also know what she's up against when she starts running against the best in the world. Still with Tuohy out there and Valby coming along, we have an outside chance in either the 5K or 10K in Los Angeles in 2028.
@@CCat52 Great points. Elle St. Pierre just taking them down in the World 3K gives me hope. Should inspire other athletes as well. Seeing is believing effect? Knock on wood.
Not even remotely the “greatest of all time”. There is a long list of very accomplished women distance runners who are way ahead of her on the list of greatest. Valby has yet to run times that would even keep her close to the international elites much less be competitive against them. She may very well get there in the future but calling her “the greatest” at this point is laughable.
@@occ4lGudof Tsegay of Ethiopia iswas running world class times in her late teens. So were a number of other Ethiopians and Kenyans. There are others but these are the most obvious.
I just feel sad for the woman announcer, she is so fun and rlly makes it exciting and the guy is just not matching her energy whatsoever
She was great!! A big personality!!
He had great energy and seemed more professional tbh
He is the "play-by-play" announcer she is the "color" commentator, the two of them have specific jobs to do as a team.
Who's surprised? I've never cared about long distance until Parker.
I am surprised she hasn't gone pro yet. She is so marketable.
This is her last year in college.
Her times are not competitive at the elite level. That doesn’t mean she won’t get there in a few years, she’s just not there now.
She is a great runner. She's got to be shredding her hip to make-up for her back/nerve issues. Wish her all the best!! : )
720p? Really?
And would it have killed them to upload the entire race?
👍
Shocking to see someone so dominant.
What shoes is she wearing? Doesn't look like spikes.. And her stride looks more bouncy than usual.
Alphafly 3s
leachman does it 6 seconds behind
Im sorry Valby doesnt run in the same events as Keely Hodgkinson. Would be a battle of identical twins.
Both ladies are gorgeous too
She came in 2nd by .024 seconds
The announcers said she's ranked #2. Who could possibly be #1?
Hilda Olememoi ran 15:06 at Bryan Clay, to Parker's 15:07 at SECs. They both ran 15:19 last night.
@@mickeylana ah thank you
By track times for this season she is ranked number one but everyone knows Valby is much more dominant than anyone else in the country.
Parker Valby is the best distance runner in the world. Valby is also the most talented runner in the world. Valby is the record holder in the 10,000m and the 5,000m, she is the most dominant.
she is not the best runner in the world lmao
There are at least three Ethiopians who are a minute faster than her at both the 5,000 and 10,000. And thatMs just the start of the list of women who can outrun her. She is nowhere near “the greatest in the world”.
If she ran a pr or world record in them it wouldn't count right?
Probably shouldn’t poor water on people especially on a black girls hair
Huh
