McCall, a world-class thrower at SIU, is one of the most decorated track & field athletes in school history. A three-time NCAA champion, she claimed the NCAA Indoor weight throw and NCAA Outdoor hammer throw titles in 2012, and also captured the NCAA Outdoor discus championship in 2010. Her three national titles are the most by an athlete at SIU and third-most in league history. In total, McCall was a 13-time All-American and 15-time Missouri Valley Conference Champion.
In addition to her three national titles, she was a three-time national runner-up in the shot put, hammer throw and weight throw. She capped off her remarkable career by finishing as a semifinalist for the 2012 Bowerman Award, which is the track & field equivalent of the Heisman Trophy. McCall continued to compete on the international stage and was the first American woman to medal in the hammer throw in worldwide competition with her win in the event at the 2013 World University Games.
Throughout her career, Stevens has specialized in the shot put and hammer throw. In 2013, Stevens won the gold medal in the hammer throw at the 2013 Summer Universiade in Kazan, Russia.
Her personal bests in shot put (both outdoor and indoor) and weight throw came while she was in Carbondale. Stevens has competed all across the world during her time as an athlete, including in South Korea, China, Costa Rica, and the United Kingdom.
Stevens competed in the World Championships in 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2018. McCall was inducted into the Southern Illinois Hall of Fame in 2018.
