While competing for the Michigan Wolverines, Harvey earned All-American honors three times: once in cross-country and twice in track.. Harvey's post-collegiate was very successful; she was ranked number one in the world in the steeplechase in 1998 and was a nine-time member of the Canadian national team. As a coach, Harvey's success has been unexpectedly quick. Since talking over the helm of the distance women at the University of Illinois in 2002, she has guided the cross team to three nationals appearances and two top ten finishes. On the track, the fighting Illini distance crew has made great strides since Harvey's arrival. During the 2006 outdoor finals, Harvey guided Cassi Hunt to her third All-American honors with a second place showing. In 2007 Karen took helm as the Florida State Women's XC coach and like in Champaign, she had an instant impact. In just her first year Karen took the Seminoles to a second place showing in XC and had two different ladies take national titles in track. Karen is married to former Michigan National Champion and current Canadian record holder, Kevin Sullivan. |

Funny thing is...In my own personal life I hated the hard teachers in High School but now I reflex back and I relize that learn the most from them...not the those one's who were friendly.

"He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her." John 8:7
I mean this to be constructive criticism. I am sure she views her self as a realist, but that is just a pessimists greatest disguise. One day I hope she can say that an athlete who chooses to go to another school wasn’t meant to be, without demeaning that athlete afterward. Unlike competition in life you can not always view others as the enemy. It simply takes away from the joys in your own life.
And, honestly, do you thnk Van Miert and Snow would be there without Braman? No. He's the one with the connections overseas and knowledge of the rules on how to get them eligible, not Harvey.
I like it that this was not mentioned directly in the interview.
If the mens coach doesn't continue to get foreigners for her they will suffer when the current crop go.
Good Luck Coach.....I am glad you no longer have to pluck the guts out of chickens! I laugh so hard when said that!
