As A Junior (1999): Gulick opened the season in centerfield but saw action in all of the outfield positions last year. Her solid play throughout the season saw her lead the Lady'Backs with a .311 batting average and a record-setting 33 stolen bases including seven consecutive swipes to start the year. Gulick finished the year with a stellar performance at the SEC Tournament hitting .286, fielding 1.000 with 21 at bats, six hits, three runs and was 3-for-4 in stolen bases becoming one of three Lady'Backs selected to the SEC All Tournament team. Gulick finished the year ranked tenth in hits (73), third in stolen bases (33) and in total plate appearances (258) and led the SEC in conference-only games in sacrifice hits (9) and was third in stolen bases (12). Gulick also earned SEC Academic Honor Roll honors last year.

As A Sophomore (1998): Arkansas' starting centerfielder for much of the season, Gulick finished the year as the team leader with a .312 batting average. That mark included 58 hits in 186 at bats. Gulick lead the team with 17 stolen bases and ranked ninth in the SEC with a 17-for-22 performance. Gulick stepped up in the beginning of the season despite having a cast on her left hand and stayed in the lineup as Arkansas' lead-off hitter recording a hit in six consecutive games.

Her honors include all-league honorable mention (freshman), three-time first team all-county and all-league and El Toro athlete of the year (sophomore). As a senior Gulick was named first team all-county by the Los Angeles Times and the Orange County Register after hitting .363 with 33 hits in 91 at bats. She was selected as the team's Most Inspirational player, was a South County all-star pick and second team all league selection. As a member of the 14-and-under Batbusters, Gulick's team placed second at the national tournament and her 18-and-under Batbuster team was the A division national champions. She also played two seasons with the 18-and-under Gold Hot Stuff club team and advanced to nationals as a junior. During her final year, Gulick hit .421 with a .421 slugging percentage and a .550 on base average.
