Final comments:
Baseball announcers are fond of declaring “FREE BASEBALL!” when a game goes
into extra innings. It is a joyous pronouncement of the extension of something
so enjoyable and so much fun that you just don’t want it to end. Such was the
fifth year of Kathryn Sheehan, one of the sweetest and toughest competitors we
have ever had the privilege of being around on a daily basis. This was no go-through-the-motions,
add-on year for Kat. She resurrected her injury plagued running career with a
fifth year that should be the model for all graduate students/fifth-year
runners in the future. She was an unquestioned team leader, very much a strong
member of our team very young team. And she PRed at every significant distance
at which she raced. She showed perhaps the greatest range of any female
distance runner we’ve ever had here. Need a fast relay leg? Put Kathryn on it.
Need a 10km ECAC qualifier? Kat did that too, by a lot. This has been so much
fun; we just don’t want it to end. But end it must, and we will move on with
the knowledge that she did so much for so long, and so well.
