 Athlete of the Month
Name: Katrina Ferguson Smith
Accomplishment: Considered a "gym rat" at TSF, she is a hard worker, is dedicated, and is also a consistent threat to the AG podium at all local races. Starting triathlon from scratch at the beginning of 2009, Katrina now has four 1/2 IM races under her belt. Her PR at Augusta 70.3 was a 5:06, good for 14th out of 184 in her AG. Over the past year, Katrina has worked with Sport Factory Registered Dietitian Ilana Katz to achieve an incredible body transformation, so she now truly looks the part of the tough athlete she is becoming! One of the stronger SF Age Group Team cyclists, Katrina is preparing for Ironman Canada (her home country) this August. Katrina's constant support of her teammates, positive attitude, and hard work ethic to continually improve (while maintaining a demanding career) is why we chose Katrina to be The Sport Factory Athlete of the Month. Thank you for all you do to inspire others, Katrina! Keep up the good work!
