She qualified for a place in the team to represent the South of England at the National finals for Women's Artistic Compulsory Level 4 Championships in Birmingham, in May.

The youngster was extremely proud to represent the South of England having been chosen as one of the 60 most talented gymnasts in the country in her age group.
