For the second time this season Beatty captured Freshman of the Month honors as she posted a pair of personal records and neared the program record in three races on the month.
She began the month with a personal best 5k time at the Live in Lou Cross Country Classic with a time of 18:51.3 which was the second-ever sub-19:00 time in program history. That performance earned her Conference Carolinas Women’s Cross Country Runner of the Week honors. The next week she posted a time of 18:31.4 at the Royals Challenge, another PR and just seven second shy of the school record. She closed the month with a time of 19:00.3 at the NCAA Division II Festival Year Showcase.
