Katie Smith '18 enters her seventh season with the Norwich University Athletic Training staff in 2025–26, and her second as the Senior Assistant Athletic Trainer after five seasons as an assistant.
Smith began her professional career in a part-time athletic training role at her alma mater before being elevated to a full-time position. Since then, she has worked closely with four varsity programs—football, men’s basketball, rifle, and baseball—supporting the performance, recovery, and day-to-day wellness of Norwich student-athletes.
A 2018 graduate of Norwich, Smith earned her Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training while also competing as a member of the Cadets' women’s rugby program. Her connection to Norwich is both professional and personal, and she takes pride in helping current athletes reach their full potential on and off the field.
A native of Essex Junction, Vermont, Smith brings local knowledge, deep institutional ties, and a growing breadth of clinical experience to her work—making her a valued presence across seasons, sidelines, and sports.
