Katelyn Long has been part of the CHS swim coaching staff since 2006.  After swimming in St. Louis growing up, she competed at the University of Iowa 2001-2005 where she also completed her math degree with a secondary teaching certificate.  Coach Long is a member of the CHS Math Department and a dedicated educator.  She is passionate about working with high school students in the classroom and on the pool deck. 

Coach Long believes that her primary responsibility as a coach is to challenge and simultaneously support all athletes.   She strives to establish a positive environment where students are able to set goals, take risks, and push themselves to become better athletes and teammates.  Participating in sports teaches athletes how to handle their emotions with grace, persevere through difficulties, and encourage others.  She believes these lessons are lifelong, help build confidence, and shape dynamic individuals.
