Yorkey's selection came in large part due to her excellence in the classroom, where she had a 4.00 grade-point average through her first seven semesters while majoring in both Biomolecular Science and Chemistry. Yorkey enjoyed one of the best seasons ever for a Golden Knight cross country runner, earning Liberty League First-Team All-Star honors at the conference championships where she finished seventh in a field of over 100 runners. She also earned All-Region status by taking 29th at the NCAA Mideast Regional Championships in mid-November, narrowly missing an opportunity to run at the NCAA National Championships.
