At the 2007 World Championships in Olešnice v Orlických horách , Czech Republic , she was sixth in slalom and 13th in Super-G and in Super Combined. At the Swiss championships of the same year she won all four competitions. Lenz remained without a podium during the 2008 World Cup season . Her best results were two fifth places in the super combined from Rettenbach and in the slalom from Čenkovice . As a result, she fell back to seventh place in the overall standings. At the Junior World Championships in 2008 she won three bronze medals in slalom, giant slalom and super-G.

Another third place followed on August 7th in the slalom of Předklášteří . In the overall World Cup, she achieved fifth place with the Czech Petra Ivánková, with equal points .
