This is a three part story on Bellarmine junior runner Katie Hickey, each part will be posted a few days apart...read and enjoy!
Last season Sophomore Katie Hickey came to the forefront of Bellarmine women’s cross country and track teams. She helped lead the cross country team to a rank of sixth out of 22 teams total in the NCAA regional cross country meet. As well as finishing as the number 19 placed runner out of 150.

Hickey also was a stellar performer in outdoor track as well as she qualified for outdoor nationals.
(This is also seen on the BU athletic site here: http://www.bellarmine.edu/athletics/news.asp?id=366 )
Hickey did not know immediately, however if she was to be attending the national meet. Instead she had to wait for the qualifying times to be posted and the call from the NCAA to let her, and her coaches know she had made it in. (http://www.bellarmine.edu/athletics/news.asp?id=147 )
“I was waiting on the qualifying call with the coaches,” Hickey said, “it was on the final day and I was on the bubble, (the coaches and I) weren’t sure if I was going to get in.”
