Elite gymnastics career

Frazier competed at the 2017 U.S. Classic where she competed on the uneven bars; she finished fourth behind Ragan Smith, Alyona Shchennikova, and Trinity Thomas and tied with Marissa Oakley. Later that summer Frazier competed at the 2017 National Championships where she placed fifth in the all-around and on uneven bars, eighth on balance beam, and seventh on floor exercise. Due to her performance she was named to the national team. In September Frazier attended world trials, but was not named to the world championship team.

In February 2018, Frazier was named to represent the U.S. at the Birmingham World Cup. This would be Frazier's first international assignment. While there Frazier won the silver medal behind Russia's Angelina Melnikova, finishing with a score of 53.932.

Frazier did not plan at competing at the 2018 National Championships, but did so at the request of team coordinator Tom Forster. At the national championships she finished thirteenth in the all-around, tied for eleventh on uneven bars with Ragan Smith, tied for eighteenth on balance beam with Maddie Johnston, and placed tenth on floor exercise.
