In January, Barrett jumped 1.97 m indoors at the Fayetteville Invitational. She qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics by placing second behind Chaunté Lowe at the US Olympic trials. At the Olympic Games in London, however, she jumped higher than Lowe and became silver medalist, by jumping 2.03m, a new personal best.[4]

In 2013, Barrett won the NCAA Indoor Championships with a jump of 1.95 m. She also won the 2013 NCAA Outdoor Championships.[5] She jumped a new world lead and personal best of 2.04 m in winning the US Championships.
