Breeden was a lead scorer for the Lady Wildcats in varsity basketball, helping Dillon advance all the way to the Class 2A lower state championship, where they fell to Bishop England. Dillon finished the 2014-2015 girls basketball season with a 24-4 record, and Breeden was a North-South selection. The Lady Wildcats were the Region 8-2A champs two seasons in a row.

Breeden also ran track for the Wildcats and helped Dillon claimed the lower state title in 2012 before earning their first ever state championship in track, finishing with a team total of 72. Breeden finished seventh in the High Jump event. She also qualified for the state meet in 2013, finishing fourth in the High Jump event. She was named All-Region in both seasons. Breeden also competed in the long jump, triple jump, and 4×400 relay events.
