She was twice Academic All-American in Women’s Track and Cross Country, and twice ACC track or cross-country Scholar-Athlete of the Year (2014).

At Tatnall, she broke the state record in every distance event, from the 800 to 3,200 meters, ending with 21 state records, nine in individual events. The state’s top cross-country runner for three seasons, she led Tatnall to four state titles, and anchored Tatnall’s winning team in the Penn Relays Championship of America distance medley relay.
