Biela is the 18th Flyer from the track and field program and third in the cross country program to be inducted into the Lewis Athletics Hall of Fame. She was a three-time All-American in cross country and still holds the third fastest time in school history in the 5,000 kilometer at 17:11.
    
Biela helped lead the Flyers to back-to-back GLVC Championships in 1996 and 1997 and was a two-time individual champion tying with Magdalena Paszta for the top spot in 1994 and 1995. She earned All-GLVC honors and All-Region honors all four years in cross country.
    
Biela finished third behind teammates Kasia Arent and Paszta at the 1997 NCAA Cross Country Championships. It marked the first time in NCAA women's cross country history that three runners from the same school captured the top three spots.
    
Biela also had success on the track winning six NCAA titles and received 11 All-America honors. She won the 800 meters at both the 1995 Indoor and Outdoor Track and Field Championships, was the Indoor champion in the 800 meters in 1996 and won the 1500 and 3000 meters at the 1997 Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
