Hanna Harrell

Harrell began learning to skate as a three-year-old, at the Diamond Edge Figure Skating Club in Little Rock, Arkansas.[3] At age seven, she relocated for training to Dallas, Texas, where she was coached by Natalia Mishkutionok for one year before joining Olga Ganicheva and Aleksey Letov.[3]

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

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

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

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.[4] She stated, "I had a bad injury on my foot and I had two stress reactions, and they were almost fractured".[4]

In October, Harrell placed seventh at her JGP assignment in Yerevan, Armenia. In January, at the 2019 U.S. Championships, she won the senior pewter medal (behind Alysa Liu, Bradie Tennell and Mariah Bell).[5] 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.

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.[6]

Harrell returned to competition at the 2021 U.S. Championships, where she placed seventeenth out of seventeen skaters.[7]
