She earned four top-10 finishes during her inaugural collegiate campaign, including three straight at the end of the fall and start of the spring seasons. After finishing seventh at the Jim West Challenge to cap the fall season, Thothong tied for ninth at the Delta Gamma Challenge before winning the UNF Collegiate title.
