Georgia’s track and field teams have added yet another “tremendous” signee with the arrival of Catherine Reid’s National Letter of Intent, according to an announcement from Bulldog head coach Petros Kyprianou.
 
 
Reid, a native of the Isle of Man in the British Isles, highlights her resume with a bronze medal finish in the 400-meter dash at the 2015 IAAF World Youth Championships and caps an extraordinary Bulldog signing class.
 
 
“This week, we received the best news possible as Catherine has decided to join our wonderful group of signees,” Kyprianou said.  “We are thrilled and honored to add her to this amazing list of world-class student-athletes who will continue our tradition in elite performance.  Catherine is a tremendous competitor with international experience, a winning attitude and a terrific personal best in the 400m at 52.25.  Coach (Ken) Harnden did a great job luring her talents to Georgia.”
 
 
Reid hit radars around the world by her bronze medal performance at the 2015 IAAF World Youth Championships in Cali, Colombia, in July.  The Manx Harriers club team member clocked a personal record of 52.25 to finish third in the 400-meter dash.  This came on the heels of Reid running a 53.20 during the semifinal round and improving her time three seconds over her last year of competition.  Reid earned her spot on the World Youth team by taking second at the National trials.  She is aiming for an Olympic berth this summer prior to her enrollment at Georgia.
 
 
The 2015 Isle of Man Sportswoman of the Year hails from an island in the Irish Sea between Great Britain and Ireland.  Reid is one of nearly 90,000 residents on the island that has temperatures ranging from the upper 30s to the mid 60s year-round.
 
 
Here are the four signees Georgia inked earlier during the spring signing period:
 
 
Kate Hall, a Maine native who was homeschooled and competed for Lake Region High School, is transferring to Georgia after spending her first year at Iowa State (she is redshirting the outdoor season). Hall set the U.S. high school long jump record, topping a 39-year-old mark, as well as the American Junior record with a mark of 22 feet, 5 inches to win the 2015 New Balance Nationals in Greensboro, N.C. This soared past the 2016 Olympic automatic qualifying mark of 21-11 and was a foot and a half longer than her winning jump at last year’s high school indoor national championship.
 
 
Hall completed her prep career with six New England titles, four New England records and two national meet records. In 2016, Hall finished 12^th in the long jump (20-1) at the NCAA Indoor Championships for Second Team All-America honors and also qualified for Nationals in the 60m for the Cyclones (chose to focus on long jump).
 
 
Beatrice Llano, a native of Bergen, Norway, has a personal-best hammer throw (4kg) of 220-8. In 2015, Llano earned Silver medal honors at the European Juniors in Eskilstuna, Sweden. She also set the Norwegian Junior national record in 2014 and then won the 2015 European Cup (U-23) Winter Championships. In addition, Llano has placed in the top five at both the World Junior Championships and the World Youth Championships.
 
 
Louisa Grauvogel, a native of Saarbrucken/Saarland, Germany, has scored 5,741 points in the heptathlon during her career and 3,860 in the pentathlon. She has won Bronze medals at both the European Junior Championships and the World Youth Championships and has been a finalist at the World Junior Championships.
 
 
Virginia Moore, a student at Deerfield-Windsor in Albany, Ga., is the defending GISA cross country individual champion and helped lead Deerfield to the team title. She won the 2015 3200m (12:00.34) state track crown by 16 seconds and was second to her future Lady Bulldog teammate Ruthie Powell the 1600m as well as the 800m. In fact, Moore has 11 top-five finishes at the state cross and track meets combined in her career. Moore has won region titles in the 800m, 1600m and 3200m every year of high school. She has posted personal-best times of 59 seconds (400m), 2:20 (800m), 5:16 (1600m) and 19:17 (5k).
