Yorkshire-born Tranfield has enjoyed an
illustrious squash career which includes British National Junior
titles at U14 and U16, British Junior Open titles at U16 and
U19, and the World Universities title in her second
appearance in the final. She also boasts a formidable WISPA record,
having only lost in four of her 15 final appearances since her first
in March 1997.
Her last and biggest WISPA success was in the Las Vegas Bright
Lights Open last May, and she reached the semi-final of the
National Championships in February.
