In addition to being named PacWest triple jump champion with a NCAA Nationals provisional mark, she helped ART U's 4x100m relay earn a silver medal, ran her fastest times in the 100m, 200m, and posted a season-best in the long jump as well.

Then "Championship Friday" saw her earn gold in the triple jump with a 41-0.25 (12.50m) mark in her final attempt. Competing in the 4x100m simultaneously, she provided the anchor leg en route to the team's 47.40 for silver. The Redlands, Calif. native later went 12.31 in the 100m and 25.36 in the 200m.
