She was named All-Conference in cross country and track and field eight times during her high school career and was the Runner of the Year four times in the two sports combined. She established school records in the indoor and outdoor 1600-meter and 3200-meter runs, records that still stand today. She won five individual state championships in indoor and outdoor track and field, and was the state runner up in cross country four times.
