In early November 1996, Vogel won bronze at Skate America and gold at the 1997 World Junior Championships, held at the end of the same month. She then developed shin splints in her right leg and a back injury, forcing her to withdraw from the 1997 U.S. Championships. Vogel appeared in competitions and shows sporadically until 2006. She performed for Royal Caribbean International in 2006 on the MS Adventure of the Seas and the MS Navigator of the Seas.
