MP Ruth Smeeth was elected JLM's parliamentary chair, replacing Luciana Berger, who quit Labour in February and accused it of being "institutionally antisemitic".
Congratulating new Youth and Student Officers Luisa Attfield and Jack Lubner, Mr Katz said: "The battle for our ideals will be fought on campuses, Labour clubs and student unions."
When he announced he was standing, Mr Katz said JLM had "failed" its members "at this crucial time".
He wrote in his manifesto: "We have always been at our best, and at our boldest, when we listen to our members and harness our talents to achieve our goals.
“When we do this we earn the trust of our community; and deserve the solidarity of our comrades.
"I’m standing because many of you have told me that recently - at this most crucial time - we’ve failed to do this and we need change."
