She posted a career-best 18:59 in the 5,000-meters at the Wake Forest Relays in 2009 while posting a 24:39.8 in the 6,000-meter cross country race at the Colonial Inter-Regional in 2007. In indoor track, she posted a personal-best and the then fourth-fastest time in school history in the mile, clocking in at 5:16.80 in the 2008-09 SoCon Championships. In outdoor track, she posted personal-bests in the 1,500-meters (4:48.14) her senior campaign while posting a best time in the 3,000-meters (10:45) her sophomore year.
