Ten years after her graduation, Caher remains the most decorated women's runner in St. Bonaventure history, and as stated by cross country/track head coach Bob Macfarlane, "redefined what was possible for cross country at St. Bonaventure."
A two-time First Team All-Atlantic 10 honoree with finishes of 13th and fourth at the conference cross country championships in 2013 and 2014 respectively, she still sets the standard for a Bonnies runner, male or female, at the A-10 championship meet.
Across multiple seasons, she was the top finisher on her team in nearly every cross country meet, including conference and regional championships. Her cross country benchmarks remain untouched – her school record for the 5K of 17:34 remained the top time in Bona history by 49 seconds over any other individual as of her induction in 2026 while her 6K mark of 21:13 set as a junior remained the Bonaventure standard by 32 seconds.
A four-time Atlantic 10 Women's Cross Country Performer of the Week, she became the first SBU runner to be honored with that award in consecutive weeks during her junior campaign of 2014. She also captured the top finish by a Bonnies women's runner ever at that year's NCAA Northeast Regional Championships.
As a sophomore in 2013, Caher helped lead the Bonnies to their first Little Three championship in three decades.
Despite competing at a time when the Bonnies did not have an official track team, she still owns the school's 5,000-meter outdoor track time of 17:14.2, set in 2013 with a track record at Nazareth College.
Also a standout in the classroom, she was selected to the Atlantic 10 All-Academic Team in 2014 before having her senior season cut short due to injury in 2015 following a second-place finish in the season-opening meet.
A 'first ballot' Hall of Fame selection in her first year of eligibility, Caher becomes the first women's cross country/track alum to be selected to the SBU Athletics Hall of Fame.
