She has won a bronze medal in the event at the 2013 World Championships, and then placed in the finals of both the 2016 Rio Olympics and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and all four following World Championships between 2015 and 2022, consecutively.

She added medals in the 4 x 400 metres relays, taking a silver at the 2016 Olympics, a gold in 2015 in Beijing, and a bronze in 2019.

Career
McPherson was the silver medalist from the 2014 World Indoor Championships as a member of the 4 x 400 metres relay team.[3] She took two gold medals at the Commonwealth Games winning the individual 400 m and the 4x400 m relay.[4] Within that same year, she added the gold medal at the Continental Cup as a part of team America in the 4×400 m relay.
In 2022, McPherson won her second global medal after a bronze at the 2013 World Championships, taking also a bronze for the women's 400 metres at the World Indoor Championships in Belgrade, Serbia with a national indoor record of 50.79 seconds.
