Sixteen year old Cornwall Athletic Club sprinter Katie Hewitt, made her international debut earlier this month, representing Wales at Under 18 level in the 2008 Celtic Games, held at Grangemouth, Scotland.

What a debut Katie made, winning the 300m invitation race, in a new personal best time of 41.59 seconds and featured prominently in the silver medal winning 4 x 300 metres relay team.  Wales won the Celtic Games trophy for the first time in their history, with Katie more than playing her part.

The next day Katie was in action at the opposite end of the country, representing Cornwall in the South West Inter Counties Championships at Exeter, where she improved her 300m personal best for the second time over the weekend, clocking 41.37, a National Grade One standard performance.

Katie is now athlete number 23 to enter CAC's Hall of Fame - see website link on the homepage
