At her third Games, the 2018 Commonwealth Games held at Gold Coast, Reid won gold in the 1 metre springboard the first Scottish female diver to win a medal at the games.[1] Four years later in Birmingham, paired with James Heatly she won her second Commonwealth title in the mixed 3 metre synchronised springboard event,[2] came 4th in the women's 1 metre springboard event and 8th in the women's 3 metre springboard event.[3]
