### 2017 season

During her freshman season, Kramer competed in 10 of 14 meets, ending with an RQS (Regional Qualifying Score) of 9.810. Moreover, Kramer was one of two Bruins who competed a Yurchenko 1.5, debuting the vault on February 11 to score 9.925.

### 2018 season

During her sophomore season, Kramer became a key member of the floor squad, competing on the apparatus in every meet. She achieved a score of 9.85 or higher in 12 out of 13 meets on the floor, and competed on the vault twice with a high of 9.85. On January 7 against Ohio State, Kramer earned her first career win on the floor, tying with Kyla Ross. On February 25, she recorded her season-high of 9.95, at a meet against Oregon State.

### 2019 season

Kramer scored her career high of a 9.95 on vault in a meet against California, on March 8; she also scored 9.9 on floor. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, on March 12 the remainder of the season was cancelled, including the 2020 NCAA Championships.
