Bishop becomes the 14th Minutewoman to be named to the Atlantic 10 Outdoor All-Rookie Team and first since teammates Megan Frazee, Marielsa McBride, and Annika Zuschlag did so in 2023. Bishop gets the honor in the shot put as the Rockford, Illinois native led all freshmen in the shot put with her personal best throw of 43' 3.75" at the UMass Flagship Opener on April 7. At the Atlantic 10 Championship, Bishop came in 11th in the shot put with a mark of 41' 3.75".

During the decathlon, Wolinski set personal best marks in six events, including a 157' 6" javelin throw which led the field.
