That came after she won the England schools.
However, she confessed it wasn't doing much for her development, so she opted to head for Loughborough University.
Plus, with Covid interrupting her studies, it was logical for her to move back to the UK.
That didn't stop her from enjoying Miami beach, and the trappings on offer in the US before the pandemic.
It was a far cry from where she grew up in Cornwall - training at the Cornwall Athletics Club, where her dad Stuart is a volunteer.
Currently, Molly is enjoying preparing for the Olympics in New Zealand, where she is being put through her paces by coach Scott Simpson.
There's always time, though, for a bikini day.
After a hard day in the gym, she's quick to strip down to her swimwear and go for a dip in the sea.

There, she took in the beauty of Positano.
