Career[]

Early career[]

Feng previously competed with Anthony Ponomarenko in ice dance from 2010 to 2014. The two won the bronze medal in novice ice dancing at the 2014 U.S. Championships. They split so that Feng could focus on her singles career.

2016–2017 season[]

Feng teamed up with TJ Nyman to compete in pairs in April 2017.[2] The two were introduced by their coach, Dalilah Sappenfield.[3]

2017–2018 season[]

Feng/Nyman received their first Junior Grand Prix assignment in the 2017–18 season. They placed 8th at 2018 JGP Croatia.

Feng/Nyman won gold at 2017–18 Pacific Sectionals to qualify for Nationals in their first season together. They won silver at 2018 U.S. Nationals in junior pairs after skating together for less than a year.[3] As a result, they were named to the U.S. team for the 2018 World Junior Figure Skating Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria, along with winners Audrey Lu / Misha Mitrofanov.[3] Feng/Nyman finished eighth at the competition. Combined with Lu/Mitrofanov's fifth-place finish, they earned three spots for U.S. pairs at the 2019 World Junior Figure Skating Championships for the first time since 2016.[4]

2018–2019 season[]

Feng/Nyman opened their season at 2018 JGP Canada, where they finished sixth. They won their first international medal, a bronze, at 2018 JGP Czech Republic.[5] Their results earned them a berth to the 2018–19 Junior Grand Prix Final in December in Vancouver, Canada.[5] At the Junior Grand Prix Final, they withdrew after the short program due to Feng's injury. Despite withdrawing from 2019 U.S. Nationals, Feng/Nyman were named to the team for the 2019 World Junior Figure Skating Championships, where they placed fifth. Their placement, combined with teammates Laiken Lockley / Keenan Prochnow's sixth-place finish, retained three spots for U.S. pairs.
