Kathleen Hughes
Kathleen came to Hypercat with the goal of getting on the podium and improving across all three disciplines. After discussing goals with Coach Rachel, a new mission was on the table, to compete as nationals, earn a spot on Team USA and compete at the world championships in the Aquabike. Not only did Kathleen achieve those goals, but she repeated as a Team USA and world championship competitor each of the years she worked with Coach Rachel Sears Casanta.
