Mitchell is a fourth-year member of the Hawks Track & Field team in addition to also running Cross Country for RWU for the past four years. On the track, she has primarily competed as a distance runner and in the high jump.
 
As a runner, she broke in as a freshman and made an immediate impact for the Hawks as she earned All-Commonwealth Coast Conference Second Team honors as a part of the RWU 4x400 Meter Relay team and All-CCC Third Team honors in the 800 Meter Run. She followed that up as a sophomore by getting named to the All-CCC First Team by winning both the 800 Meter and 1500 Meter at the CCC Championship while also taking home All-CCC Third Team honors in the 4x400 Meter Relay.
 
Meanwhile, as a jumper, Mitchell excelled as well. In her first season, she earned All-CCC Third Team honors by placing third in high jump at the CCC Championship before placing 17th in the event at the New England Championship later that season.
 
Mitchell has seen success as a member of the Hawks Cross Country team as well. As a junior she was named to the All-CCC Team after placing 12th at the CCC Championship meet as a part of the team's win. She also ranks tenth in program history with a 6K time of 23:47 and eighth in the 5k with a mark of 19:31.
 
In the classroom, Mitchell is a five-time academic all-conference selection studying Mechanical Engineering.
