Personal:

Kathleen Darling is a graduate of John Hopkins University with a BS in Civil Engineering and was a four-time All-American in the javelin and discus. She won three NCAA titles in those disciplines. She first started playing handball in 2005 and quickly adapted to the game. After spending two years in the Olympic Residency Training Program, she earned professional contracts for two French teams: Bergerac HB and SUN Al Bouillargues. Her most memorable handball moment is "playing Brazil in 2005 in Sao Paolo in front of what seemed like 10,000 Brazilian fans sambaing in the stands." Her goal is "to go to the Pan Am Games and to be able to stop having to explain what handball is to Americans."

Darling has a lot of hobbies including traveling, lifting weights, cooking, and scuba diving. She is also on a "mission to re-create the perfect neapolitan pizza at home". The handball veteran also enjoys kettlebells, reading, painting and wordpress. Her favorite food is Pizza at Keste; favorite movie is Dress to Kill; favorite tv show is Rome. Her father is a coach; mother is a teacher; and she has one younger sister. Another claim to fame for Darling is that she designed the latest USATH logo.
