After placing third in the Double Mini Trampoline (DMT) World Championships in Bulgaria at the end of November, talented Sophie has now been selected for the 2023 Double-Mini Trampoline Senior Development Programme at British Gymnastics. To compete with seniors at such a young age is a huge achievement in itself and we are so proud.
Her amazing journey started when she competed in the National Age Group Finals for DMT (17-21 year olds) at Birmingham Arena and was crowned National Champion. Following that, Sophie represented England in the Frivolten Cup in Sweden and won the Gold medal in the Open Women’s DMT. This earned her selection for the England Squad, 2022.
Helen Barnard, Head of Girls’ Sport at St Peter’s, said, “These are consistently outstanding achievements, a testament to Sophie’s dedication and talent. She manages to train and compete, whilst significantly contributing to first team school sport and her academic studies. This level of accomplishment and commitment is excellent.”
Sophie was part of the U19 Netball first VII that came third at the Regional Round of Netball National Schools in Sheffield last week, as well as playing a crucial part as Wing Attack, and in the third quarter as Centre, in the U19’s 51-26 win against Whitburn Academy at home, just before half term.
Congratulations Sophie and keep up the hard work!
