Krichko worked closely with coach Dan Harrison and the novice program in her season on-staff. Together, they helped the novice eight boats to medalist finishes at the Big Ten Championships (gold, 1N8; bronze, 2N8) as the program won its first Big Ten Title since 2012. The Wolverines went on to place third at the NCAA Championships behind a program-record 119 points.

She won three Big Ten medals (two silvers, first varsity eight, 2017-18; one bronze, first varsity four, 2016) and helped lead U-M to four consecutive second-place Big Ten finishes. On the national stage, she rowed at the NCAA Championships twice. Krichko helped lead the 1V8 to a fifth-place finish in 2017, leading to a third-place program finish. As a senior, she stroked the 1V8 boat to a 10th-place NCAA finish.
