Bevel is the first female in Mountain Home history to earn letters in the same four sports (cross country, swimming, softball and track) in all four years. She was a member of the All-Conference team in at least one sport every year, including a four-time selection in swimming.

Bevel gives credit to her success toward the coaches she learned from and the multitude of teammates she competed with.
