Personal life

Career

Cain began skating pairs with Joshua Reagan in April 2009.[6] They were coached by David Kirby and Peter Cain at the Dr. Pepper Star Center in Euless, Texas.[3] Cain and Reagan finished 4th at the 2011 World Junior Championships and won the 2011 U.S. Junior title, becoming the only pair to ever win U.S. novice and junior titles in consecutive years.[7] On February 24, 2012, they announced the end of their partnership.[7]

As a single skater, Cain began competing on the ISU Junior Grand Prix series in 2011 and won silver on the junior level at the 2012 U.S. Championships. She won the bronze medal at the 2013 Nebelhorn Trophy, her first senior international. The following season, she took bronze at the 2014 Ondrej Nepela Trophy and was invited to two Grand Prix events, the 2014 Cup of China and 2014 Rostelecom Cup.[8][9]
