In the Star Tribune story HERE and one in the Mankato Free Press HERE, the freshman cross country runner is portrayed as a vibrant, hardworking student-athlete eager to begin life as a college student.
"She was the kind of child every parent wishes was their own — you wish every kid could turn out like her," a family friend said in the Free Press story.
In another Free Press story, HERE, Mankato coach Jennifer Blue said, "She was just a great kid, and I want everybody to know that."
Details are unclear as to just why an SUV driven by Dale Hoechst crossed a lane of traffic and struck Delwiche and teammate Laura Palmer from behind while they ran and biked on the sidewalk. Alcohol does not seem to be a factor, according to media reports, although distracted driving is offered as a possibility.
Details on Delwiche's funeral, Friday, can be found HERE on the McLeod County Chronicle web-site.

I've known Caty since I was six, and she was no doubt the most amazing person I've ever met...
