Louise has had an outstanding season, moving from the NCAA to Loughborough as a postgraduate season and continuing to improve. We have a World and European Champion studying here at the University and improving each year. I hope this can be celebrated for the outstanding achievement that it is. This year her achievements have included completing an MSc in International Business, winning 17 medals, and achieving both a European and World record.
