The Fletchers Trust recently received an update from Betty Brocklesby Sum, who the Trust have supported with a grant for new equipment in late 2023.
Betty has made considerable progress in 2024, switching to a more competitive schedule, and competing in the U15 Category. This has seen her achieve:
3rd place in the U15 Category at the National Championships
3rd place overall in the Junior Archery Series (with two 1st place finishes at series events as well)
Gold Medallist at the Archery GB Youth Festival in the U15 Category
Gold Medallist and National Champion in the U15 Category at the Junior National Indoor Championships
Southern Counties and Southern Counties Youth Tour champion
And to cap an excellent season Betty has also been selected for the Archery GB Olympic Pathway for 2024/25 where she is already receiving positive feedback on her technical and developmental progress
This represents an outstanding year of success for Betty. The Trustees are delighted to have been able to support her and look forward to hearing of further success in 2025!
