National and personal athletics success for Kilgraston pupil
Despite a year of lockdown and training interruption, Freya H has stormed ahead to achieve a PB in last weekend's British Athletics competition
Huge congratulation’s to Kilgraston School pupil, talented athlete Freya H, who took part in last weekend’s British Athletics Coventry Spring Meet, producing a personal best performance in shot-put and finishing top of the F37 classification.
Lined-up against some of the country’s best para athletes, the Sixth Form pupil was representing her hugely supportive club, Perth’s Strathtay Harriers.
Commenting on her recent performance, Club Head Coach, Jim Hunter, said: “Freya’s continual improvement – she is also a talented javelin thrower and runner – is just reward for all the hard work she has put in to this point. From a club perspective, we are really chuffed for her.”
Picking up on the story, the Daily Record ran a feature on Freya, which also highlighted the difficulties the last year of lockdown has had on athletes and the sheer dedication needed to maintain standards.
