Spink finished her junior year with four top five finishes at the NCAA Championships, including third place in the 50 Free. Spink swept the 50, 100, and 200 freestyles at the SEC Championships for the second year in a row, joining Georgia's Kara Lynn Joyce who did it in 2006 & 2007. Spink took the gold medal in the 50 and 100 Free for the third-straight year, becoming the first swimmer to do so since LVFL Erika Brown.

The sophomore ranks top ten in program history in all three diving disciplines, currently sitting fifth in the platform (419.20) and sixth all-time in both the 1-meter (410.25) and 3-meter (437.20).
