As a sophomore: Lamb saw extensive action in her sophomore season to earn her second letter in 1998. She was NU's lead-off vaulter for much of the season--five of her seven vaults scored a 9.4 or higher, including a career-best of 9.55 at the Arizona State UNO's Classic. Arica tied Arizona State All-American Meagan Wright with a 9.5 in finising fourth on vault at the Maui Invitational. She was also named first-team academic All-Big 12, carrying a 3.24 cumulative GPA.
