Kathy Hardy dominated women’s masters running in New Orleans in the late 1980s. Prior to turning forty, Kathy posted great times and wins in the open category, but her dominance was as a master runner. Kathy’s visibility and contribution were so significant that Footprints announced in the August 1989 issue that she had gotten a job in Florida and would be leaving New Orleans and the NOTC. Kathy’s proudest New Orleans running moment was her personal best performance in the 1987 Crescent City Classic with a time of 37:22.
