A-Level student Lucy Whitfield represented England at the WIKF World Championships in Crawley at the end of September, coming away with a Gold medal in the Kata. Lucy, who won Sportswoman of the Year at last years Sports Presentation Evening, has been working hard towards this event and it is a fantastic achievement to be crowned the world's best in her category. She has previously competed at the European Championships in Greece, winning a bronze medal in the team event. However, the experience of standing on the podium, wearing her Gold medal with 'God Save The Queen' playing, will take some beating.

Lucy is also training towards her 3rd Dan, which would make her one of the youngest 3rd Dan members of the WIKF, ever!

Well done Lucy!
