She represented Australia 27 times in international competitions and set 32 world records or world bests. She won 27 Australian Championships and 13 individual international medals.[2] She retired in 2001.[2]
There is a walkway in Ballina named for her which is called the "Kerry Saxby Walkway" which runs from Captain Cook Park to the end of North Wall.[6] In January 2021 Saxby-Junna was further honoured with an interpretive signage display, which serves as a rest stop on this walkway, this display is over two metres high and details her athletic achievements. Saxby-Junna was there for the unvieling by Ballina Mayor David Wright and it sits on the river bank near the Ballina War Memorial Pool.[7]
