Her 25 rounds in the 70s as a senior also broke the school record, as did her five top-10 finishes and seven top-20 finishes. She opened the year with a 72-74-77--223 to tie for 13th at the Ptarmigan Ram Fall Classic in September. She finished tied for second at the Highlands Ranch Women's Open with a 75-71--146 in September, and backed that up with another second-place finish at CU's Heather Farr Memorial with a 73-71--144 in October. She placed fourth (75-74-72--221) at the Landfall Tradition Women's in November. She really got going in the third tournament of the spring, placing fourth at the Oregon Duck Invitational and ninth at the Mountain View Collegiate in March. After placing 33rd at the Big 12 Championships, she again qualified for the NCAA West Regional and finished 48th after carding three 77s for a total of 231.

2001-02: Following a career best 13th-place finish at the Big 12 Championships, the team's most valuable player became the first player in the program's history to advance to NCAA play as she was selected as the No. 1 individual not represented on one of the 21 qualifying teams that advanced to the NCAA West Regional in Stanford, Calif. She was denied a trip to the NCAA Championships by three strokes, as she shot 72-79-72--223 as the third individual not on one of the eight advancing teams, 15th overall. After trading top finishes with Jolene Fellhauer during the fall, she was CU's low strokes per average for a second straight year and bettered her own school record in the category with a 75.9. She was the Buffs' low performer in six tournaments and her season stroke average was ninth in the league standings--the best ever showing for a Buff. She switched putters following the fall season and the results were immediate as she christened the spring with 10 straight pars in the first round of the Bay Area. Two weeks later she shot three rounds of 74 in Meneffe, Calif. Her spring-only average (75.4) was a full two strokes better than her spring average as a sophomore. She entered the conference championships on the heels of a fifth-place finish in Utah, the second best finish of her collegiate career. Nearly two weeks after the collegiate season, she took the first qualifying stage of the U.S. Women's Open with a 2-over 73 at Phoenix's Thunderbird Golf Course in late May. In July she shot a 74 at the Boulder CC and lost a two-hole playoff on a 12-inch putt for the third alternate spot of the Colorado sectional of the U.S .Women's Amateur qualifier. She was the low amateur (71-73) at the Arizona Open and ninth (second among amateurs) at the Colorado Open with a 76-69-77.

2000-01: Kerr was the first CU newcomer to come in and take over the reigns as the team's to player. She was CU's low score in seven of the 11 tournaments and her 77.44 stroke average led the team and was 18th in the league. She spent little time making an immediate impact when in her third tournament at CU, the Big 12 Fall Preview, she hit a school-record low 69 in the opening round. She tied a second school record with former teammate Sarah Bellinger, with 22 rounds in the 70s, unable to remove the asterisk during the Big 12 Conference Tournament. She is the sole owner of the school record fo low stroke average for a season (77.44) bettering the two-year record previously held by Kiersten Allbright (77.84). She led the team in rounds scored as all but one round (28-of-29) contributed to the team score.
