The 5-foot-9 senior won the Class 6A state meet title this past season with a time of 18:12, breaking the tape six seconds ahead of her next-closest competitor and leading the Seahawks to a sixth-place finish as a team. In only her second season of running cross country, Beckner won six of eight races and did not lose to an in-state opponent until the Foot Locker South Regional championships where she lost her footing at the one-mile mark while holding second place. She regained her feet and finished 24th.
Beckner has maintained a 3.35 GPA in the classroom. She has signed a National Letter of Intent to run cross country on scholarship at Syracuse University this fall.
Beckner has volunteered locally on behalf of numerous road races and she has donated her time as a youth track coach and mentor.
