Coudriet was the second-fastest sophomore at the NXN Southwest Regional Championship, where she finished eighth to capture Second Team All-Region honors. She also took sixth in the Friday Championship race at the prestigious Clovis Invitational in California.

She has also donated her time by fundraising for Compassion International.
