Katherine started cycling when she was 10 years old by joining a local club called Rock Creek Velo. She fell in love with racing immediately. After two seasons of racing, she went to her first National Championship. She was not a podium contender at the time, but she was determined to get to that level. Two years later, she won her first Stars and Stripes jersey in Reno. Last season was the first time she was eligible for CX Worlds since there was no racing the previous year. She targeted the USCX races and National Championships to be selected for the National Team and compete at Worlds. Katherine won 6 out of 8 USCX races and National Championships which allowed me to go on a National Team race trip to Belgium and race at Worlds. She placed 2nd at Baal and was 3rd for the X2O Badkamers series on the race trip. A month later, was the World Championships in Fayetteville and she placed 11th.
