The 2024 Horizon League outdoor champion and the 2025 HL indoor champion in the women's high jump, Lively finished third at this spring's HL championships.
 
Lively was named the Horizon League's Alfreeda Goff Outdoor Athlete of the Year in May and was named a Horizon League's 2025 Indoor Sportsmanship Award winner in mid-March. She graduated with her Communication Studies degree in early May and was also a member of Wright State SAAC and worked in Wright State's athletic department with marketing and promotions during her career.
