With numerous top 3 placings, she was selected to be part of the South West team for the 2019 National Youth Championships. They were proud to be part of the winning team and also took individual 6th place. Since then they have progressed onto Novice u18 classes and took 1st place at Keysoe, their second event at that level. Now at University Lily and Monty have stepped back from competing, enjoying a few BE100’s for ‘fun’ – notably a 20.8 double clear to take 1st place in a BE100 Open section at Calmsden.
