[2] In 2006, 2007 and 2008 Kell rowed in the New South Wales senior women's eight contesting the Queen's Cup at the Australian Championships.

[1] The following year Kell was again selected to race at the Junior World Championships, this time at Duisburg, Germany in a double scull with Hally Hames.

The Russians and Germans created a margin over the rest of the field leaving Kell and Hames battling for the bronze.

[1] One month later Kell made her Australian senior selection debut racing in the double scull at the 2003 World Rowing Championships in Milan with Catriona Sens to a sixth placing.

In exciting racing they fought off their fancied British rivals Georgina and Caroline Evers-Swindell (who had dominated the event from 2002 to 2005) to lead at the half-way point and hold on for an 0.8seconds victory over Germany.

[1] 2007 saw Kell forced out of Australian selection due to back pain from the long term effects of training.
