Bio
2019: Strayer began her sophomore campaign at the Lenoir-Rhyne Invitational 5k where she finished first overall in a time of 19:01.85. After missing the Wingate Invitational due to an injury, Strayer triumphantly returned at the Louisville Classic where she placed third out of 533 racers with a 5k time of 18:12.5. Strayer was the top women's finisher for C-N at the team's season finale at the Queens Royals Challenge 5k. At the SAC Championships, Strayer finished fifth overall out of 86 racers with a time of 22:50.0 in the 6k. That performance earned her a spot on the SAC's All-Conference First Team. She followed that performance up by placing sixth at the NCAA Southeast Regional out of 181 participants in the 6k with a time of 22:20.6. Strayer then received an at-large bid to the NCAA National Championships, becoming the first individual female Carson-Newman runner to be selected to attend since Aubrey Morris in 2008. Strayer placed 101st-place out of 261 participants at the NCAA Cross Country National Championships women's 6k, setting a lifetime best time of 21:39.6. The underclassman had one of the most successful seasons in program history as she was the top finisher on the women's side for the Eagles in every event.
