Before accepting a full tuition athletic scholarship from the UMBC Retrievers she had also visited at Temple and the University of Delaware.

Roberts is having a great fall season, she dropped her Holmdel best from 20:33 to 19:53 at this year's Shore Coaches Invitational. She is also currently riding a two meet win streak with titles at both the Camden County Championships and the Burlington County Divisional Championships. The Burlington Divisional win came with an impressive time of 18:10!

On the outdoor track she holds personal bests of 5:15.42 in the 1600m, 12:17.94 in the 3200m, and 2:15.83 in the 800m. We can expect those to be lowered this year based off her performances so far this fall. The 2:15.83 in the 800m last spring qualified her for a first career Meet of Champions appearance where she finished the season 16th.
