Davis brought in the top freshman distance class in Yellow Jacket School history for the 2024 fall cross country season. The BHSU men also posted their best finish in school history at the 2018 NCAA Division II South Central Regional, taking sixth and having an All-Region performer.
The Mount Vernon, Iowa, native led the 400 meters/400m hurdles/800m groups, coaching them to multiple top 10 all-time marks in those events and in the 4x400m relay. Under Davis’ tutelage, Braden Anderson (men’s 800m) was a three-time bronze medal finish at the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) Championships, set indoor and outdoor school records in the 800m and qualified for the 2025 NCAA Division II Outdoor Championships.

Davis graduated from ISU in the spring 2022 with a bachelor's and master's degree in Dietetics & Exercise Science where she was a middle-distance runner for the Cyclones. During her five years, she was named Academic All-Big 12 First Team five times and was nine times named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll. Davis also served as a strength and conditioning intern with the wrestling, swimming and diving and football programs during her undergrad years in 2017 and 2018. She was heavily involved in FCA as well.
