In cross country, Huber served as the team's No. 3 runner at both the PSAC meet (17th place) and the regional meet (24th place) during a campaign in which Shippensburg won the PSAC and Atlantic Region championships for the second consecutive season.

For her career, Huber is a 17-time PSAC placewinner and six-time All-PSAC competitor. She has won an indoor national championship with the 2009 indoor DMR squad and qualified for nine events on a provisional or automatic basis for the NCAA national championships.
