In January 2021, Lane set a new Victorian state record over 100 yards when she ran 10.59 seconds in Geelong, to finish ahead of Celeste Mucci and Mia Gross.

In July 2023, Lane made her debut in a Diamond League event, competing in London at the 2023 Anniversary Games. In August 2023, Lane was part of the Australian squad selected to compete in the 4 x 100m sprint relay at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest.
