With an academic scholarship, she will be working on a double major in criminology and psychology, besides training in sprints, 400 metre hurdles, and relay training. Katarina Vlahovic was selected by Iowa State University, located in Ames, "the nation's most student-centered public research university". A BCHS record breaker, Kat will take kinesiology courses, while training and competing in the 100 metre hurdles.
