Katie Nelms, K-Bell Invitational Female Athlete of the Meet

LOS GATOS, CA - Many of the top athletes from around the Central Coast Section gathered in Los Gatos this past weekend to kick off the Outdoor Track and Field Season at the K-Bell Invitational. The line up showcased some great match ups from last season as well as some newcomers. But Perhaps the biggest highlight of the T&F Invite Was LSI's own Katie Nelms, Leland High School(CC).

Katie who's been working hard all fall, headed to K-Bell as the clear favorite among a solid field of competition in the 100m hurdles, 200 Meters and the 300m Hurdles. Entering her Junior year Katie ran to a comfortable 14.4 in the 100m hurdles. Looking to run under 14 seconds this year she has shown excellent early season form. In the 200 Meters Katie lead the field to victory clocking an impressive 24.76, which makes her the only athlete clocking a sub-25 time so far this season.

But in what is probably her best race Katie cross the line to victory in the 300m Hurdles in a time of 45. Her Impressive Performnaces and sportsmanship earned her K-Bell Invitational Female Athlete of the Week. Congratulations Katie!!
