At the state meet, she ran a personal best 42.06 in the prelims and reached the finals in the 300 hurdles, finishing eighth (42.70).

Said Coach Hill; "Katie has been running for quit some time particpating in age-group competitions since she was very young and like a lot of athletes she's learn in a way that left her underdeveloped. She's very focus and very determined and her talent grows in the context of interest. Because she has been so underdeveloped there's a greater margin for improvement and that's what you've seen this season. A lot of learning took place. Next season should be very exciting for Katie. I think a lot of people will be surprise cause there's still a lot of room for improvement"
