After winning and setting a National High School record for the mile relay, her high school coach Mr. D stated in a Washington Post news article on May 1, 1976, “Kim is probably the most versatile in this group and the senior has competed in every track and field event for Coolidge except the discus and 100-yard dash.”

Kim enjoys spending a great deal of her time with her soulmate Mr. J. Vance, her son Chaise, and siblings Jacqueline and Ernest, along with a host of nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and nephews, and most of all, her five grandchildren.
