Emily added: “Thank you very much to Taunton School for supporting me and taking me to lots of sports events – this really helped me with my training. I am also competing in the European and World Championships for Laser Run for Great Britain and I hope to have qualified for the Schools Laser Run Finals too”.

Emily also competes in Triathlons (Shoot, Run, Swim) and Tetrathlons (Ride, Shoot, Run, Swim) with her pony, Alfie. Emily’s dream is to become an Olympic Gold Medalist in Pentathlon.
