Burrell slowly began to concentrate in more of the long jump , and it was during this competition where she had her first appearance at the senior level and finished fifth in the final of the 1995 Pan American Games. Burrell represented her school, the University of Houston at the NCAA Track and Field Championships from 1993 until 1995, and graduated the following year.

In 1997, she took the title for the longest jump during the USA Indoor Track and Field Championships Then she did it again next year, with a personal-best jump in the range of 6.92 meters. The year before, she achieved an outdoor record of 6.90 meters, and also won the bronze medal at the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. She placed fourth at the 1998 Goodwill Games (two centimeters off third-placed Niki Xanthou) and was a participant at the 1998 IAAF Grand Prix Final, in which she came eighth.

Burrell gave the greatest performance of her career with a jump of 7.03 m – her first time over the seven-meter mark. This was enough to win the gold medal some five centimeters ahead of the defending champion, Russian athlete Tatyana Kotova. The jump brought Burrell into the top ten long jumpers on the all-time indoor lists and made her the second best American indoors, behind Jackie Joyner-Kersee. She began preparing for the outdoor season, but suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury to her knee in April which ruled her out for the entire season.
