Hollins University

Athlete of the Week - November 9, 2009

Katie Furches is the Hollins Student-Athlete of the Week.  This is the second time that the senior from Olney, PA has been named SAOW this fall.  This past weekend Katie won the Southwest Va. Hunter/Jumper Gold Medal Finals at the Virginia Horse Center.  Furches had to qualify for the event throughout different shows during the fall and competed against 15 other competitors from around the state.  This was a very prestigious win for Hollins and Katie as she has worked extremely hard to achieve this goal.  Katie is majoring in Business while working on a minor in Psychology. 

Congratulations Katie!
