The first year swimmer made her collegiate debut by winning both individual events she was entered in and helped the Sharks win both relay races as well in a double-dual meet vs. Gordon College and Elms College on October 27.

The Grace Christian Academy product opened the meet by swimming the lead backstroke of the team's winning 200-yard medley relay ahead of senior Jason Erichsen's (Banks, Ore.) breaststroke, sophomore Anna Leedham's (Lowell, Mass.) butterfly and junior Aine Scholand's (Albuquerque, N.M.) freestyle anchor leg to combine on a time of 1:56.85 to win the relay by nearly 14 seconds.
