A member of Newbury Athletic Club,[3] Fry finished fourth in the 5000m at the 2019 European Athletics U20 Championships in Boras, Sweden in 2019. In March 2020, she reached the number one in the world junior cross country rankings and straddled that with top-10 finishes at the 2019 and 2021 European Cross Country Championships in the age-group category events, winning gold as part of the women's U20 team in Lisbon in 2019. She also finished fourth at the 2020 UK National Championships over 5000m.[4][2]

Fry became World University Cross Country champion in March 2022, in Aveiro, Portugal.[5] She was also part of a gold medal-winning a British squad in the team event.[6] Later that year, she finished third at the NI International Cross Country event, in Belfast.[7]

Fry's 2023 was severely hampered by a serious foot injury which she received in the spring and missed the entire track season.[8] She was selected for the 2023 European Cross Country Championships in Brussels in December 2023.[9] She finished tenth overall, and won gold as part of the successful British squad which won the team event.[10][11]

In February 2024, in Boston, Massachusetts, Fry ran a new personal best over 3000 metres, running 8:52.15.[12] The following week she lowered her 5000m personal best to 15:07.76 in Boston.[13]

In May 2024, she was selected to run the 5000 metres for Britain at the 2024 European Athletics Championships in Rome.[14] she finished ninth in the 5000m final with a new pb of 15:05.66.[15] In 2024, she finished third in the 5000m at the 2024 British Athletics Championships in Manchester.[16] She was selected for the British team for the 2024 European Cross Country Championships in Antalya, Turkey where she placed 14th to help Britain win team silver.[17][18]

Fry finished third in the British women's 10,000m national championship race in Birmingham in June 2025, running a time of 31:47.60.[19]

Fry had a third-place finish at the 2025 Liverpool Cross Challenge on 22 November to gain automatic selection for the 2025 European Cross Country Championships where the British team won the silver medal in the team event.[20][21][22]
