Career

Early years

Kayne began learning to skate in 1998.[1] She competed in the novice ladies' category in the 2010–2011 season and then on the junior level for one season.[2] She then switched to pairs, teaming up with Daniel O'Shea in April 2012.[3]

2012–2013 season

Kayne/O'Shea finished 7th in their first trip to the U.S. Championships, in January 2013. Making their international debut, they won the silver medal at the 2013 International Challenge Cup.[4]

2013–2014 season

Kayne/O'Shea won bronze medals at the U.S. Classic and Ice Challenge. After placing 6th at the 2014 U.S. Championships, they were assigned to the 2014 Four Continents, where they won the silver medal.

2014–2015 season

On July 28, 2014,[5] Kayne underwent surgery due to a labral tear in her right hip.[6] As a result, the pair withdrew from their 2014–15 Grand Prix assignments, the 2014 Cup of China and 2014 Rostelecom Cup.[7] Kayne/O'Shea returned to competition at the 2014 Golden Spin of Zagreb, taking bronze at the ISU Challenger Series (CS) event. The pair stepped onto their first national podium at the 2015 U.S. Championships, where they were awarded the bronze medal.

2015–2016 season

Kayne/O'Shea began their season with gold at a CS event, the 2015 U.S. International Classic. Kayne injured her right knee at the event.[8]

Making their Grand Prix debut, the pair placed 6th at the 2015 Skate America and 4th at the 2015 Rostelecom Cup. Another CS medal followed, bronze at the 2015 Golden Spin of Zagreb in December.[9] In January, Kayne/O'Shea placed first[10] in both segments at the 2016 U.S. Championships and won the gold medal by a margin of 14.85 points over defending champions Alexa Scimeca / Chris Knierim.[11]

2016–2017 season

After placing 5th at the 2016 CS Finlandia Trophy, Kayne/O'Shea competed at two Grand Prix events, finishing 6th at the 2016 Skate America and 4th at the 2016 NHK Trophy. The pair withdrew from the 2017 U.S. Championships due to a concussion, Kayne having hit her head while attempting a throw triple flip during the short program on January 19.[12]

During the season, Kayne experienced increasing pain due to right knee tendinitis,[12] the result of her 2015 injury.[8] She received a new cadaver tendon in an operation at the Vail Valley Medical Center on February 14, 2017 and then refrained from walking for seven weeks.[8] She resumed training by July 2017.[8]

2017–2018 season

Kayne/O'Shea took silver at the 2018 U.S. Championships. At the 2018 Four Continents, they were third after the short program and then had a personal best score in the free skate to win the gold medal.[13] Following the event, Kayne was diagnosed with a stress fracture in her right knee.[14] The pair withdrew from the 2018 World Championships before the competition.[15]

They were coached by Jim Peterson, in Ellenton, Florida, until the end of the season.[1]

2018–2019 season

On September 7, 2018, Kayne/O'Shea announced a coaching change, deciding to join Dalilah Sappenfield in Colorado Springs, Colorado.[16]
