Motycka opened her 2026 campaign with an outstanding indoor season, running for the No Excuses RC, capturing FLYRA Indoor Championships titles in the 800m (2:23.82), One Mile (5:09.77), and 3000m (10:04.51). She carried that momentum into the outdoor season, where she claimed the FLYRA State Championship in the 3000m with a winning time of 10:04.51. 

Just one week later at the RunningLane Track Championships, Motycka continued her impressive season by running 5:15.13 in the Mile and 11:05.14 in the 3200m.
