Katie Qualifies for Nationals!


This weekend my youngest sister Katie (#45 on the right) qualified for the NCAA Indoor Track Championship (coming up in March) while competing in Washington State (the Distance Medley Relay). Then she went on to win the 800 meter run in a personal record of about 2:05 minutes...about 0.03 seconds off the current BYU record. This also qualified Katie for Nationals in a second event. For family/ almost-family friends who want to join in on my Katie-the-Cougar-Mania, feel free to check out this awesome article:http://www.byucougars.com/Filing.jsp?ID=11737
