“Katie often seems timid and quiet, until you put her on the line and she transforms into a fierce competitor. Her final year of competition will certainly be her best as she is putting forth new diligence and energy.”

“Katie has learned a lot over the past two years. This will be the year that she will put many of those things to work. So far this season she has solidified her positions in a manner to produce a lot of the results she is looking for.
