For her junior and senior years, she competed for national power Eleanor Roosevelt High School in Greenbelt, Maryland.[2]

With the University of Central Florida track team Scott won the school's first NCAA title in any sport, taking the 60 meter title at the 2013 NCAA Women's Indoor Track and Field Championship with a time of 7.13 seconds while leading her team to a 5th-place finish.[3] Scott graduated in 2014.[4]

At the 2013 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships Scott finished 6th in the 100-meter dash with an official time of 11.00 second. This time was equaled by Muna Lee, but Scott won the tie-breaker with 10.998 vs. 10.999 and thus defeated Lee by one-thousandth of a second.[6] By virtue of placing in the top-6 of the 100 meter dash, Scott was included in the United States delegation to the 2013 World Championships in Athletics.[7]
