Her best clearance of the outdoor season came at the Bison Outdoor Classic, where she marked a 5’ 5” to finish 4th. She added 1st place showings at the Miami Invitational and the Cornell Outdoor Invitational. She concluded her career at the Outdoor Heps, finishing in 8th place.

Bush high jumped for her school at the Indoor and Outdoor Heps during her junior season. Indoors, she cleared 5' 5" to score .33 points for Cornell by tying for sixth place. Outdoors, she was over 5' 3" for a 15th-place showing. She equalled her personal best of 5' 7" at the Upstate Challenge in January.

As a Sophomore (2011-12)
Bush took part in the high jump and the triple jump at the 2012 Indoor Heps, placing eighth (5' 4 1/2") and ninth (36' 9 3/4"), respectively. She also participated in the Penn Relays, finishing 20th with a high jump of 5' 3". Her indoor best jump of the year, at 5' 7", is tied for the eighth-best mark in school history.

As a Freshman (2010-11)
As a freshman, Bush proved to the Big Red field that she has great potential to be an all-around excellent jumper. Beginning at the Penn State’s Sykes-Sabock Challenge Cup, she demonstrated her efforts to the team by scoring a 37-6 in the triple jump. During the outdoor season at the Cornell Spring Invitational, Bush scored in the high jump (5-3), triple jump (37-09.25), and the long jump (18-00.5). She expects to vastly improve in all the jumps throughout her coming years at Cornell.
