Give us 5 words that best describe you as an athlete:
Dedicated, hardworking, resilient, positive, determined
Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
The best memory of my athletic career was at the start of the year when I got called up to compete for Great Britain in the Loughborough International Championship. It was my first year as an U20 and I managed to beat the older competitors and received my first GB kit in the process.
Goals:
I want to make World Juniors next year and hopefully challenge for a medal at the European Juniors the following year. I also want to progress to major championships, get on the circuit and see if I can make the Olympic team for 2028.
Anything else we should know?
I was invited onto the GB rowing team last year but turned it down as I was unable to pursue both athletics and rowing.
