Curling career

Farrell has competed in eight consecutive Junior National Championships. Her first was in 2013 at only 13 years old, playing third for Kaitlin Fowler. They finished the tournament with a 3–6 win-loss record, in a four-way tie for sixth place. Farrell's best results at Junior Nationals have been in 2017, 2019, and 2020, each time earning the silver medal.[1]

In 2016 Farrell represented the United States at the 2016 Winter Youth Olympics, playing third on the mixed team skipped by Luc Violette. They earned the silver medal, losing to Canada's Mary Fay in the final. Later in the season, Farrell skipped her own team to victory at the Pacific International Cup, an international bonspiel held annually in Richmond, British Columbia.[2]

At the 2018 United States Women's National Championship Farrell and her team, who had finished fourth at Junior Nationals earlier in the year, earned the bronze medal.

Farrell returned to the international stage in 2019, as skip of Team United States at the World Junior-B Championships in Lohja, Finland.[3] The Junior-B Championships act as a qualifying tournament for the World Junior Curling Championships. They finished in fifth place,[4] failing to qualify the United States for the 2020 World Juniors.

During the 2020 off-season it was announced that Farrell would be joining Jamie Sinclair, Monica Walker, and Elizabeth Cousins to form a new team for the 2020–21 season.[5]
