At the 2019 indoor conference meet she earned runner-up finishes in the 200-meter dash and 1,600-meter relay.

The 2019 outdoor Big Sky championship meet belonged to Beddingfield as she took four titles. She won the 200-meter dash, 400-meter dash, 400-meter relay and 1,600-meter relay! That season, she also qualified for the NCAA championship meet in the 200 meters.

In 2020 she captured another championship as part of the winning 1,600-meter relay squad at the Big Sky Indoor Track & Field Championships.

Eunice Boateng

Syracuse's Eunice Boateng makes curvy look great on the track. This cool Canadian sprinter has collected some wins over the years. In 2018 she won the 60-meter dash at the Dr. Sander Invitational. Later that year she won the 60-meter dash at the Greg Page Relays and shortly after the turn of 2019, Boateng was successful winning the same race at the Cornell Upstate Challenge.

Boateng collected two more wins when she took the 60 meters at the Marc Deneault Invitational in 2019 and was a part of the 1,600-meter relay team that won at the Southern Tier Collegiate Open 2020 meet.
