Biography

In February, Katz led the Hawken’s girls’ swimming and diving team to its 24th Ohio Division II state championship. The Hawks won four individual event titles on the way to scoring 269.5 at the championship meet in Canton, Ohio.

Katz swam under legendary Hawken head coach Jerry Holtrey, who led the program from 1969 through 2014. Katz won a state gold medal while swimming for Coach Holtrey in the early 90’s.
Hawken currently owns the third longest active championship streak. Carmel (Indiana) girls’ program has won 35 straight state championships.

Katz also led the boys’ program to a third place finish at the state championship meet.
