Summary
Katherine White has been an impactful member of the cross-country team for the past three seasons. As a rookie she was named a second team OCAA All-Star and two time All-Academic during her team’s OCAA gold and CCAA National bronze medal triumphs. In her sophomore year she contributed to her team’s provincial second place finish and national fifth seed.
White is a graduate of the Fitness and Health program and has bridged over to third year of the University of Guelph-Humber’s Bachelor of Applied Science in Kinesiology. Through these programs she hopes to work in the athletic therapy and clinical physiotherapy fields.
Running has been a passion of White’s since grade 10 and progressively cultivated her talent when she joined the University of Toronto’s Track Lab in grade 12. White said her career flourished at Humber thanks to her coaches teaching her about running strategies and developing her into a better racer. Through these stepping stones, White plans to continue running track and build her endurance for longer road races.
