I just wanted to provide a report following the  grant that you kindly  awarded me earlier in the season which meant I could attend a pre season  training camp in Portugal. This enabled me  to spend a concentrated period of time with my coach to prepare for the athletics season. I have been selected for and achieved a bronze medal at the National English Schools Championships. This is my first year in the under 20 age group and I am a year young so i have another year to go in this age category. I am currently ranked 7th in the UK and I aim to improve on this by the end of the season.

Thank you so much for the funding which has made this achievement possible. I attach a photograph of me training in Portugal and a photograph of me receiving my medal at English Schools.
