In 2002 she returned to Concordia to earn her teaching credential and in the process, joined the CUI Track & Field team with her final season of eligibility. She went on to cement her place in history with two NAIA Individual National Championships that year, setting eight school records. Graff-Ermeling finished her career as a school-record eight-time All-American and a three-time All-American Scholar Athlete.
