Angela Rosemary Tooby-Smith (née Tooby; born 24 October 1960)[1] is a British former long-distance runner.

Born in Woolhope, Herefordshire, England, Tooby had her first successes in athletics in cross country running competitions.

She had also begun to make an impact on the track, recording the fourth fastest 5000 metres run of 1984.

[4] The 1988 season was Tooby's most successful: she became the UK Cross-country Champion and,[5] following a win at the prestigious Almond Blossom Cross Country race,[6] she won the silver medal at the 1988 IAAF World Cross Country Championships, behind Ingrid Kristiansen, and led the British women to a team silver medal as well.

[7] She attended her first Olympics soon after, but in the women's 10,000 metres at the 1988 Seoul Games, she was eliminated in the heats (following a stress fracture of the spine).
