‘Dreams to reality’ — Fairmont’s Kathryn Westbeld gets WNBA chance after years playing overseas

“I’m a 29-year-old rookie,” Kathryn told Desert Wave Media in Phoenix last week. “It feels good.”

In an Instagram post Monday with photos from her debut, Westbeld wrote simply, “Dreams to reality.”

Westbeld got her WNBA chance after averaging 18.7 points and 8.4 rebounds for KSC Szekszárd in Hungary last season.

“Life is crazy,” Westbeld told WNBA reporter Hayden Cilley after the game Saturday. “You never know.”
