She was named the Outstanding Athlete of the Meet as a freshman in 2010 when the conference championship was held in Ogden.
She is the only female distance runner in Weber State history to win a conference championship in the same event three times and she accomplished that twice.
In indoor track, she won three more Big Sky individual titles. She won the 5,000 meters twice in 2012 and 2013, and won the 3,000 meters in 2012. She was also second in 2013. She was named the Most Valuable Athlete of the Meet in 2012, as she helped lead the Wildcats to the team championship.

Callister also excelled in the classroom and earned multiple national academic awards.
She was a three-time Academic All-American, the only athlete in Weber State history to earn Academic All-America honors three times.
