To win both events in the final meet of my career is surreal.” At various points in time, she has done better than she initially thought possible. Looking back on her entry into the Razorback program, she said, “When I first came in, I was just oblivious to everything. I just kind of came in – I never really thought, as a freshman, that I'd have an impact on the program.” 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Katherine Grable: A Decorated Career Winds Down )〕 In an interview just prior to the Southeastern Conference (SEC) Championships (in March 2014), when asked about trouble with her hip, Katherine replied that she had been “having trouble with it all year” and had been doing “the least amount of skills possible, just trying to keep it as healthy as possible.” Asked about the likely impact of this in the SEC competition, she said that she had been dealing with it all year, since before the season started” and that this was just another day. Asked about specific goals, she said that she wanted to do well in her routines and that in her last SEC competition, she just wanted “to really have fun”.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SEC Gymnast of the YEAR Katherine Grable says her hip injury won't be a factor at SECs )〕 At the competition, following a vote of all the coaches, she was named SEC Gymnast of the Year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Katherine Grable Named SEC Gymnast of the Year )〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Katherine Grable」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
