Cox began competitively sprinting when she was 15, after her coach from hockey suggested that she take up the sport. In the following three years, she took part in regional meets for under-17s, gaining numerous top finishes in 100m races. In 2007 she added the 200m and 60m to her collection, winning silver in U17 races in both the Manchester Open and the England Athletics Open Championships in the 60m in that year. In 2009, Cox was participating throughout the entire athletics season and registering personal records that included 12.60s for the 100m, as well as 25.58s for the 200m, both of which were at the Yorkshire & Humberside County Championships. In 2012, Cox competed in national events and posted an all-time personal best in the 200m at the BUCS Championships that took place on the Olympic Park, a result that saw her claim the bronze medal. In 2013 she broke 12 seconds in the 100m race for the first time, registering the times that was 11.97 during the Northern Athletics Championships. She then recorded a personal record time of 11.93s in the 100m that following year. Apart from running, prior to her illness, Cox was competing for an appearance on the British Skeleton team.

A month later Cox was selected for the Great Britain athletics team to compete at the 2015 IPC Athletics World Championships in Doha, where she entered the T37 100m and 200m sprints. In the heats leading up to the final of the 100m sprint, Cox posted a time of 13.59s to beat the world record set by France’s Mandy Francois-Elie. Later that day she ran in the 100m T37 final, taking the gold medal in a time of 13:60, beating team mate Georgina Hermitage into second place. Her final event of the championship, the T37 200m sprint, ended in controversy after she missed registration by a minute and was disqualified from the race. In June 2016, after securing a place at the 2016 Summer Paralympics as a T37 athlete, Cox was reclassified as a T38 category athlete, a classification for less-disabled athletes. This threw her hopes to race at Rio into jeopardy as Britain already fielded two other athletes, Sophie Hahn and Olivia Breen, who had posted faster times as T38 sprinters. Despite the classification change, Cox was selected for the Rio Paralympics in July 2016. At the Games she took a gold in the T38 400m, a silver in the T35-38 4x100m relay and a bronze in the T38 100m. She also set a new world record of 1:00.71 to take the gold medal in the T38 400m.
