How did you get into athletics?
"I really enjoyed athletics at school, especially District sports competitions. My mum suggested trying out a local athletics club. I was a bit nervous, but thought I would give it a go. Then one day, my mum got a call from the club asking if I would like to join one of the advanced training groups. I was really pleased! I have been training in athletics for nearly 4 years now. I started off with combined events but now do just hurdles, triple jump, long jump and sprints. I have improved and achieved a lot, competing at county, national and international level, which is something I could never have dreamed of! I have also made lots of new friends and am lucky to be part of an amazing athletics club with the most supportive and dedicated coaches."
