Notable
Katie graduated from Middlebury College in February of 2004 and recently got her real estate license. Because of her early graduation, Katie started training in the water in April. She hopes this will give her an edge heading into this year's competition. Katie said that the Great Outdoor Games are the only competition where you know who you're going to roll against in the months before the competition and it helps in preparation. At most other competitions, the draw happens the night before.
Quotable
With the event being in Madison, Katie said "I'm so excited that all of my friends will finally get a chance to see what I do and I really want to do well.... The hardest part of competition is competing against my sisters. I had to compete aginst my youngest sister Abby last year and I just choked. Usually you want to visualize beating your competitor and just crushing them. But I couldn't do that to my little sister."
