Kate's 4x800 team

This is my 3rd year running track. After stepping down from XC for the season, I was eager to take up sport again.

Awesome team of girls. Our specialty is the 4×800.

I love the idea of pushing myself physically and academically. Sports compliment my academics. I see myself surrounded by people of the same belief and values.
