She earned the spot after tying for first at the Northeast Regionals on floor exercise. A three-time All-EAGL performer on floor exercise and once All-EAGL on vault, she won the Headley-Singer Award in 2002 which is awarded to the top graduating Rutgers female student-athlete. Turner also excelled in the classroom, being named EAGL All-Academic four times, National Association of Collegiate Gymnastics Coaches for Women Academic All-American four times and team Scholar-Athlete twice. She earned the President's Award in 2001-02 for registering a 4.0 GPA, and was selected to attend the 2000 NCAA Leadership Conference.
