Violet [Edgbaston High School for Girls] has returned from an unforgettable summer, bringing home not one but two gold medals from the prestigious European Youth Cup held in Slovenia. Competing in the U18 Compound Women’s category, she clinched victory in both the individual and team events, marking a standout moment in her athletic journey.

Stay tuned: this is one athlete whose aim is as sharp as her ambition.
