Both publications also named her to their Class B all-state first-team twice. She also played in the 2009 Shrine Soccer Classic, notching one goal and one assist.

During Bartels' junior season, the SkyHawks posted a 16-1 record, before falling in a shootout in the state final. Bartels found the back of the net six times during the state tournament to finish the season with 26 goals and 14 assists for 66 points, including six game-winning goals.

Bartels finished her sophomore campaign with 24 goals and 10 assists for 58 points, as Skutt fell to Lincoln Pius X in the first round of the 2007 state tournament to claim a 14-4 record on the year. Bartels was named to the Omaha World-Herald’s Omaha-Area first team, and earned Class B first-team accolades from the OWH and LJS.

As a freshman in 2006, Bartels and Skutt claimed the state crown with a 2-1 victory over Pius X in the final for a 17-2 record. Bartels scored the first goal in the championship game and assisted on the second, as she posted five goals and five assists for 15 points on the season.
