My name's Kate. My dad is the men's Arkansas Track and XC coach. God has given me the ability to run so I do it for Him and His glory only. I run 400s, 300/400 hurdles, 800s, 1600 and 5k for xc. Hoping to run a 2k steeple sometime next spring.

Just recently got back from Blue Ridge Running Camp in VA where I got to meet THE Jack Daniels. I learned there that life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it. 

My goals for this xc season is to break 19min and consistently run in the 19s.
