Cathy Reed was born in 1987 in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Her mother is Japanese and her father is American.Cathy Reed has two skating siblings. She competes in ice dancing with her younger brother Chris Reed. Her younger sister Allison Reed is also an ice dancer.
The Reeds are the 2006 U.S. Novice Dance Champions, but chose to represent Japan beginning in the 2006–2007 season.[1] While Novice national champions are usually given a chance to compete on the Junior Grand Prix, Cathy Reed was too old at the time of their win to compete as a junior internationally. The Reeds were offered a chance to compete for Japan and they took it. They advanced immediately to the senior level, skipping Juniors entirely.
After advancing to the senior level, they placed fourth at the Golden Spin of Zagreb and second at the 2007 Japan Figure Skating Championships. At the 2007 Four Continents Figure Skating Championships, they showed they belong as seniors, placing ahead of several teams who have been competing a seniors much longer than the Reeds have.
At their Grand Prix debut, the 2007 Skate America, they placed 9th. They placed 8th at their second Grand Prix event, the 2007 NHK Trophy. They won the 2007–2008 Japan Figure Skating Championships. They repeated their 7th place finish at the Four Continents, and then placed 16th at the 2008 World Figure Skating Championships.
