Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
My best memory is when I became a Welsh Champion for the first time, in the 60m indoors, when I had just gone up to U17 age group. I did what I was meant to do and delivered my best performance in the final by running a new personal best.
Goals:
I want to compete for Great Britain as a junior, and win a British junior title. Then I would like to go on and represent Wales as a senior in the Commonwealth Games, and to represent Great Britain at the Olympics. I want to run the fastest I possibly can, and one day to become the fastest woman in the world!
Anything else we should know?
I was made Captain for the U16 Welsh Girls Athletics Team in the Celtic Games in 2018. I also love competing for my club, Cardiff AAC. I was voted the club’s Athletes’ Athlete of the Year (U15 girls) in 2017, and was athlete of the month in February 2018. I have won my school’s prize for physical education five years in a row, for my athletics achievements and also commitment to representing the school in sports such as gymnastics, basketball, cricket and dance.
