Kate, and her partner Megan Still, went through 1995 undefeated in national and international competition, culminating in winning the World Championship in Finland. In doing so, the pair became the first Australian female rowers to win a world title in an Olympic rowing event.

Fresh from victory at the Amsterdam International Regatta in June 1996, Kate and Megan clinched the Olympic Gold Medal in Atlanta, becoming the first Australian female crew in history to achieve this feat.

She was presented with the Order of Australia Award in 1997.
