Kirk recorded a top-10 performance in her outdoor debut at the Washington & Lee Carnival in the 400-meter hurdles.
 
She was also a member of the winning 4x400-meter relay team with Jakeya Perrin, Roxine Chambers and Moesha Moncrieffe. They clocked a cumulative time of 4:05.88.
 
Kirk won the 400-meter hurdles in 1:05.12, a time that ranks seventh all-time in Great Midwest outdoor history. She is less than two seconds away from the overall record of 1:03.85, a standard that has been untouched since 2014.
 
Kirk made the finals of the 60-meter hurdles at the Great Midwest Championships, an event that featured national champion Janelle Perry and third-place All-American Milani Glass. She also ran in the finals of the distance medley relay and 4x400-meter relay.
