Meet Emily, local youth athlete taking county sport by storm and the newest addition to our sponsored athlete roster! Here's a little about her:
'I'm Emily, 12 year old athlete. I have grown up doing sport and love the challenge it gives me. I cycle, swim, suef life save, play hockey, netball and many other sports (I have just taken up Nordic Skiing) but my main sport is running.
I recently placed in the top hundreds of girls at the National Schools Cross Country in Liverpool and the National Intercounties in Nottingham. I loved the experience of competing at a National level against the best athletes in my age category.
In future, I dream of being an Olympian. I look up to many athletes including .hodgkinson and and dream of being a star like them. I know that is only possible with hard work, dedication and belief.
Swimming is where I feel most at home and it is great cross-training for my other sports. It aids my recovery, builds my aerobic capacity, and improves my speed in the water which is extremely beneficial for surf life saving.
St Michaels have sponsored me with a place to train and swim, and I am so grateful that I can enhance my training and build my strength and endurance so close to home'.
Welcome to the team, Emily!
