In 2007 Burgess won a bronze medal for Great Britain alongside Williamson and Naomi Folkard in the women's team event at the 2007 World Archery Championships, defeating the Italian team in the bronze medal match to finish third overall. Later that year the three were medallists at the fourth stage of the 2007 Archery World Cup held in Dover, winning the women's team recurve tournament. At the 2008 Archery World Cup Burgess, again with Williamson and Folkard, won gold medal in the team competition in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, in April, and a bronze medal in the same event in Boé, France, two months later.
