Caitlin was originally an Irish Gaelic form of Catherine. Fitzgerald was honest about her expectations entering the season's first Golden League meet, held last week at Pearblossom Park. ``I went into the race expecting to finish second to Brienna (Morris),'' Fitzgerald said, ``because that's always the way it is.''
