Becker led the Tulsa women to an 8th place finish at the Midwest Region Championships with a time of 21:19.87 in the 6K race, earning herself a 13th place finish.

Thirty-eight individuals, the first four athletes from each region who are not a part of a qualifying team and two additional qualifiers, were selected to participate in each championship.
