World Class Performances: Excelsior female athletes

Competing on the World Stage

Over the summer we have had some great results from all of our athletes, but 3 of the female athletes we work with were competing in World Class events.

Jazmin Sawyers: Heptathlete

Jazmin came 9th in the World Youth Games in July with a P.B. of 5296 points.

I work with Jazmin at Millfield School, and we are preparing her for the Commonwealth Youth games in September.

Judith Hamer: Wheelchair basketball

Judith was part of the team who came 3rd in the Under-25s World Cup tournament in Canada in July.

I have worked with Judith for 3 years as part of the TASS scheme, training her at Exeter University. We have just finished quite a heavy loading phase, and she is now training for the European Championships in September.

Jenny McGeever: Epee

Jenny got to the last 64 of the World University Games in August.

Jenny is part of the South West Talent (SWT) programme. A tough draw for Jenny in only her 2nd Senior competition. We are looking to restructure her training after her latest camp away.

Hannah Gaunt: Biathlon

Honourable mention to Hannah Gaunt (SWT) who came 2nd in the National Biathlon Championships and has been selected for the World Championships in Bulgaria. Unfortunately due to her young age she has to take a chaperone, and it is all self funded, she can’t go.

 Well done to all of these athletes and their Coaches and parents, without whom it wouldn’t be possible.
