Figure skating career

Early years

Harrell began learning to skate as a three-year-old at the Diamond Edge Figure Skating Club in Little Rock, Arkansas. [4] At age 7, she relocated for training to Dallas, Texas, where she was coached by former Olympian Natalia Mishkutionok for one year before training with prominent figure skating coaches Olga Ganicheva and Aleksey Letov. [4]

2015–2016 season

At the 2016 U.S. Championships, Harrell won the juvenile silver medal (behind Stephanie Ciarochi). [5]

2017–2018 season

In the 2017–2018 season, she debuted in the ISU Junior Grand Prix series. [5]

At the 2018 U.S. Championships she won the junior pewter (ie fourth place) medal behind Alysa Liu, Pooja Kalyan and Ting Cui. [5]

2018–2019 season

Harrell was diagnosed with a foot injury in late August 2018. She wore a protective boot for more than a month and was off the ice completely for two to three weeks. [6] She stated, "I had a bad injury on my foot, and I had two stress reactions, and they were almost fractured". [6]

In October, Harrell placed seventh at her JGP assignment in Yerevan, Armenia.

In January, at the 2019 U.S. Championships, she surprisingly won the senior pewter medal at the age of 15 (behind Alysa Liu, Bradie Tennell and Mariah Bell). [7] [8] [9] [10]

In March, she (along with Ting Cui) represented the United States at the 2019 World Junior Championships in Zagreb, Croatia. Ranked fifth in the short, she competed in the final group during the free skate. She finished seventh overall after placing ninth in the free skate. [5]

2019–2020 season

Harrell opened the season at the Philadelphia Summer International, where she won the bronze medal. Given two Junior Grand Prix assignments, she placed seventh at the 2019 JGP France. Harrell had to withdraw from the 2019 JGP Italy due to a stress fracture in her foot that was repeatedly misdiagnosed. Harrell's injury subsequently forced her to withdraw from the rest of the season, including her place on the American team to the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics in Lausanne, Switzerland. [11]

2020–2021 season

Harrell returned to competition at the 2021 U.S. Championships, where she placed seventeenth out of seventeen skaters. [12]

She qualified a spot for the 2023 U.S. Championships after winning silver at the 2023 Pacific Coast Sectional Championships.
