Nominees must be varsity team members in their respective sport and in their junior or senior year. Scholar-Athlete of the Month nominees must also have a cumulative grade-point average (GPA) of 3.0 or higher and be actively involved within their campus communities.

She continued a stellar performance placing second at the Stan Romanoski Open and Bethany Invitational with throws of 36.09m and 33.67m.
