The 2007-2008 season will be Kathryn's sixth full season with the Notre Dame Equestrian Program.

Under Kathryn's guidance and teaching, the team has done very well in IHSA Region 9 each year since Kathryn took over the program. In the spring of 2005 the team finished first in the region, and competed as a team at the zone level. In 2005, the club also won Athletic Club of the Year award at Notre Dame.

Thanks Kathryn!
