While competing in three sports during her time at Tarleton, Wright entered the Hall of Fame for her efforts in track and field. She is the 179th member and the 32nd member of the Track and Field program. Wright was a star for the Tarleton Track and Field team for all four years of her playing career from 1997-2001. She was a four-time team MVP and elevated her career to the national level beginning in the spring of 2000 when she finished ninth in the heptathlon at the NCAA Division II National Championships. In her senior season, Wright's athletic achievements knew no end. She won LSC Championships in the 400m, javelin, and mile relay, as well as medaling in 100m hurdles, and the spring relay. She qualified for the national championships in the heptathlon, 400m, 100m hurdles, javelin, and mile relay and finished with a national bronze medal in the heptathlon. She was an NCAA Division II All-American and the LSC Women's Track and Field Athlete of the Year. Her 5,125 heptathlon points remain an unbroken Tarleton record at the time of her induction.
