| Representative Honours and Achievements to Date: | "My biggest achievement was getting a letter through the post to say I had been selected to run for my country. It was an incredible feeling and is something I will always remember and look back on. I still read the letter over and over again to inspire me to keep going in athletics. There wasn’t a better feeling stepping on to the track in front of a huge crowd at the British Schools International with a Scotland vest on. It was a proud day for me because I have worked hard for this chance through days, weeks, months and years to get there. It was an amazing feeling to know that when I lined up at the start of the race I was one of the best young athletes in Britain. Now I know that joining the Glasgow School of Sport was the right decision and the right place to be because of the high quality coaching I receive. Nobody could coach you any better than my coach (in my opinion)." |
