The show has never claimed Yang is the slowest member of her team. That's fanon. What we have seen is that she's as willing to engage in acrobatics as anyone else on her team. Even if she did end up one day being confirmed as the slowest member of her team, the MightyGlacier trope isn't for athletic, acrobatic characters who just happen not to be the fastest character in the team.

As to having trouble keeping up with anyone with any degree of speed, that's a very YMMV statement to make. Many of the characters have had trouble with something that, at some point; Yang has not been singled out for this in any way, and even the few characters who do have the ability to augment their speed, have been shown to sometimes struggle with speed in battle.

The only girl in their group that has \"natural\" speed is Ruby - and even that is Semblance-powered. Weiss uses glyphs to enhance her speed. Both of them are therefore using special abilities to enhance speed for (so far, short) periods of time and have actually never been shown to be significantly faster than any other characters when not using their Semblances. Comparing any character\'s natural or non-augmented speed to that (including Yang) isn\'t a level playing field. Even Weiss and Ruby have found that their speed doesn\'t always given them an advantage over their opponents\' reflexes.

There is nothing in the show that singles out Yang as MightyGlacier. The trope is being shoehorned on the basis of fanon.
