PRIOR TO MSU
Baskett was a mid-year transfer after coming from Vincennes University (Ind.) as a distance runner in the spring of 2023.. Baskett ran cross country for Vincennes as a freshman, finishing in the top three on the team in every race, including the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) National Championships and the NJCAA Half Marathon National Championships. She led the Trailblazers at the John McNichols Invite and collected top-50 overall finishes at the NJCAA Region 24 Championships (11th), Eastern Illinois Walt Crawford Open (27th) and NJCAA Half Marathon National Championships (49th). Vincennes ended the campaign ranked 21st in the country and placed second at its regional meet, 10th at the NJCAA Half Marathon and 18th at the NJCAA nationals. A native of Sebree, Ky., Baskett graduated from Webster County High School in the top 15 percent of her class and maintained at least a 3.5 grade-point average each semester. In athletics, she advanced to the Class 2A State Cross Country Championships every year from eighth through 12th grade and the Class 2A Track and Field State Championships as a senior. On the track, she ran the leadoff leg of the 4x800-meter relay team that was second at its regional championship and 15th at the state championship. Her final year, she also was third at the regional meet in the 3,200-meter run and sixth in the 800-meter run, as well as 11th at the cross country regionals. Webster County cross country placed second in the region in her final three years and never lower than fourth in her six seasons on the team.
