INJURED! AGAIN!
For the last time?
Katy suffered a back injury while beginning her comeback
for the Olympics
2007 COMEBACK?
Katy is staging a comeback trail for 2008 Olympics with the
new Velocity Elite Track Team--
In June 2005, Katy began seeing therapists using the Egoscue
Method for her chronic back pain and herniated disks.
After a month of treatment and exercises, she's begun to run
again and she told me (dad) that she might want to make
another run at the Olympics in 2008. Time will tell, but
Katy is settled in grad school (JFK in California) and has
begun to try her hand at running as the pain is beginning to
diminish, let's keep our fingers crossed!
Katy Jay to retire from Track!
On thanksgiving 2004, Katy Jay officially retired from
competitive track.
Unable to overcome a career-ending injury suffered in her bid
for the 2004 Olympic Team Katy Jay faced the reality of
ending her Olympic Dream.
Katy, now on her way to graduate school at John F. Kennedy
University pursues life as a normal person away from
competitive sports.

Katy Jay, Women's Track
Arguably the greatest track athlete in Cornell history, Jay earned MVP
honors at both the indoor and outdoor Heptagonal championships last season.
She was also named the top female track athlete in the Northeast region.
Undeniably the most dominant sprinter in the Ivy League, Jay has established
school records in virtually every event she has entered, including the 60m,
100m, 200m, 400m races. She's also been the Red's all-important anchor in
relays, leading the 4x100m and 4x400m teams.

Sponsoring conference championships in 33 men's and women's
sports, and averaging more than 35 varsity teams at each school, the Ivy
League provides intercollegiate athletic opportunities for more men and
women than any other conference in the country. All eight Ivy schools are
among the "top 20" of NCAA Division I schools in number of sports offered
for both men and women.
The most diverse intercollegiate competition in the country for both men and
women is also among the best. In recent years, the Ivy League has been
synonymous with national excellence in men's and women's soccer, lacrosse,
rowing, fencing and squash, and individual Ivy athletes have regularly
excelled as well in football, track and field, wrestling and swimming. Ivy
teams have enjoyed significant success in the opening rounds of the NCAA
Division I basketball championships.
This successful competition in Division I national athletics is achieved by
approaching athletics as a key part of the student's regular undergraduate
experience: with rigorous academic standards, the nation's highest four-year
graduation rates (the same as those for non-athletes), and without athletics
scholarships. Ivy athletic programs receive multi-million-dollar
institutional support as part of each institution’s overall academic
programs, independent of win-loss or competitive records and together with
extensive programs of intramural and recreational athletics.

AMAZING TOP 5 ALL-TIME
Finishes in ONE DAY at IVY LEAGUE 2003 Championships
Katy Jay honored as:
2002 Northeast Regional United States Track Coaches Association
Athlete
 Thanksgiving
2004
Katy Jay officially ends her
illustrious career as one of the most celebrated Nebraska track
athletes of all time!
Long-time Mitchell High and Cornell University Track
Champion Katy Jay hangs up the cleats for good.
So Close, Yet So Far
After
successfully transitioning from sprinter to hurdler in the
2003-4 track season, Katy in her 3rd race in the 400 meter
hurdles ran 57.39, good enough to get her into the Olympic
Trials which began this weekend July 9, 2004 at Sacramento, CA,
without her.
The following week after qualifying on May 8th during
practice, Katy severely injured her leg coming off a hurdle. "It
just snapped," said Katy. Tearing ligaments off the bone in her
foot and leg, Katy continued undaunted that her leg would heal
in time to lower her qualifying time and improve her seeding at
the Olympic Trials. Three weeks later she ran her final race for
the season. The leg wouldn't hold and even running with her
injury numbed for competition, she received the bad news from
her physician.
The doctor told Katy that she could try it, but if she
injured it any more, there was a good chance she would not be
able to run again.
This is news Katy heard several times during
her athletic career, once in high school, after setting a state
record time in the 100 meter dash to become the fastest
(still) schoolgirl in Nebraska Track History and again right
before her senior year as the doctor's told her she would not be
able to run with a herniated disk in her back. Each time Katy
had come back.
Each time she had won championships, defending
her state championships in the 100 and 200 her senior year and
running 5 top five all-time Ivy League times, winning 4 firsts
and 1 second as she guided her team to the Ivy League Track
Championship for the second straight year.
They say the third time's a charm, but not this time. Katy's
dream for a spot on the Olympic Team ended quietly and without
fanfare in a doctor's office. The future is unclear for Katy,
but she's optimistic about her ability to come back and run
competitively. She may have to change events as the injury may
have ended her sprint and hurdle career. Yet, Katy remains
undiminished in her spirit and recently mentioned to me that her
coach thought she might be able to run competitively in the 800
meters. Most people would just call it quits, but not Katy Jay.
Time will tell if she can make the transition, but each time
in her career she's been challenged by time and competition,
Katy has come through. Some people just have the ability to
remain resilient...to accomplish the incredible. Katy stands on
the platform of the impossible...speaking into the microphone of
courage about the future--optimistically. She's my hero and I
wish her all the dreams she can stand.
A small town girl, who almost died twice as a young girl with
asthma...who was so pigeon-toed as a child, she tripped herself
when she ran...who grew up to become Nebraska's fastest school
girl, a 14-time Ivy League Track Champion--more than any girl in
Cornell History--and to finally convert to the 400 meter hurdles
and in her 3rd race in a new event qualify for the Olympic
Trials...I'd say the prospects look bright for Katy Jay.
Time Will Tell
June 30, 2003
KATY JAY Set to Compete for Spot on the Olympic Team in 400
Meter Hurdles
"Unbelievable," says coach Chuck Debus. Katy's transition
from the sprints to the hurdles is incredibly seamless and
natural. It' amazing to see her courage and talent displayed in
such grace and speed.
Upon completion of a stellar Senior year at Cornell scoring
more points in competition than any other Cornell Track Athlete
during her 4 year career, Katy Jay has made the leap to the
hurdles in her bid for Olympic Competition.
Over the past year, Katy knew that she was not capable of
running in the elite sprints in world competition, but insists on
becoming a contender in the hurdles at 400 meters.
Katy's strength and heart will be a main factor in her ability
to relearn how to run a different race, yet she is undeterred in
her quest to become an olympian. Since an early age as a
national champion tumbler and gymnast, Katy has kept her own
Olympic dream alive through her running. Still the fastest
school girl in Nebraska History, Katy takes her 14 Ivy League
Championships into what is the most grueling race in sports, the
400 meter hurdles.
The 400 meter hurdles can reduce any champion to a lump of clay
after it has had its way with them...Katy will be required to
marshal all of her will and class to make the transition where
others have competed for years. With only 1 year before the
trials, Katy is well on her way, says her Coach Chuck Debus.
Debus has coached 178 world champions over his long and storied
career and see Katy's chances as excellent--after watching her
overcome the transition from the sprints to the hurdles in just days under his expert
tutelage.
The 400 hurdles requires strength, speed, power and a quick
mind to calculate and recalculate distance, times and steps in
response to real time changes in the race as its being run.
It requires every form of intelligence to win at the world-class
level--an integral approach.
Time will tell, but it could be Katy's time when it comes to
the Olympic Trials in May in Sacramento, CA...only time knows.

CORNELL
UNIVERSITY SCORES MOST POINTS EVER!
May 4, 2003
Complete Story
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (IvyLeagueSports.com) -- After
Cornell's
Katy Jay and Yale's Joslyn Woodard crossed the
finish line following the 200-meter dash, Jay said
to Woodard, "We gave them another show." [Jay is
3 time 200 meter Conference Champion and is second
all time.]
And that's exactly what they gave the crowd at
DeWitt-Cuyler Complex as
Jay's Big Red defended its Outdoor
Heps title.
In a race anchored by Jay, the Cornell women set
a new Heps record in the 4x100-meter relay, blazing
a time of 46.32 shattering the old mark of 46.60 set
by Brown in 1991. Joining Jay on the record setting
squad were sophomore
Shonda Brown, junior
Merili Mosley, and freshman
Jan Seale.
Jay, running in lane four in the 400-meter dash,
got off to a great start and cruised to a win with a
53.78 clocking, sixth best in outdoor Heps history.
Cornell racked up points in this event with
Jessica Brown coming in second and defending
champion in this event,
Kari Steed finishing fourth. Sandwiched in
between the Big Red runners was Harvard's Anne
Hillier at 56.21.
The duel between Jay and Woodard continued in the
100-meter dash, with Woodard coming out on top, with
a wind-aided 11.79 showing and Jay right behind her
at 11.86. To cap the day, Jay ran the anchor
leg in the 4x400-meter relay, as the Big Red cruised
to victory with the sixth best time ever at Heps
with a time of 3:44.45.

 Senior sprinter Skye
Kathleen Jay, known to most as Katy, has accomplished so
much during her time on the East Hill and still has one more
year to go. This past spring, during the outdoor track
season, she claimed both the 100- and 200-meter titles at
the Heptagonal championships and also ran the anchor legs of
the winning 4x100 and 4x400 relays. As a result of these
four top performances, the coaches awarded her with the
highest honor at the championships and named her the Female
Athlete of the Meet. She then went on to earn All-East
honors at the Eastern College Athletic Conference
championships in both the 100 and 200 and capped off her
junior season by being named the Northeast Region Women's
Outdoor Athlete of the Year.
