Plowden set the IUP outdoor records in the 100, 200, and 4x100 relay while also setting the All-Time conference records in the 55 & 200 (indoor), and 100 (outdoor). Plowden was also voted the Eastern Conference Outdoor ('01 & '02) and Indoor ('00, '01, & '02) MVP. Plowden has career bests of 11.56 for 100 meters and 23.87 for 200 meters.

Team Director Greg Harger said, "Plowden has improved steadily over her collegiate career and is in a position to transition into the next level as a post-collegian." Added Harger, "We are excited to add to our sprint core which has been gaining some momentum through the re-energized recruiting efforts of Coach McGuire."
