She is a three-time Fraser Valley Champion, the largest and most competitive zone in the province. Last spring, she finished second in both the 400m hurdles and in the long jump at the British Columbia High School Championships, she was also a member of a second place 4x100m relay team and a first place 4x400m relay team. Her efforts helped amass 32 points, which pushed her team to win the Senior Girls Championship banner.
