Also the Lady Flames' only three-time Big South women's cross country individual champion (2010, 2011 and 2012), Margraff culminated her cross country career with a 93rd-place finish in the 2012 national championship.
Competing in indoor track, Margraff won back-to-back Big South Most Outstanding Track Performer awards in 2011 and 2012, helping Liberty capture consecutive conference titles with by earning 28 points at both meets. At the time of her graduation in 2013, she owned four program records (cross country 5K, cross country 6K, indoor 3K and indoor 5K).Â
Margraff received Liberty’s highest student-athlete honor in 2013 when she was named the winner of the Rock Royer/Mac Rivera Award. Following her career, her efforts were continually honored by the Big South Conference when she was named to the 2010-19 Big South All-Decade team for cross country, indoor and outdoor track & field.
