A Grampian Para Swimmer has scooped up a title at a national awards programme.
Aberdeen’s Toni Shaw, who swims with University of Aberdeen Performance Swimming, took home the sportscotland Young Sportswoman title at the 2020 Scottish Women in Sport Awards, which were held virtually on the 26th November.
The award was a well-earned recognition of the effort and dedication Toni has put in over the years, especially in more recent times where she represented Scotland as the youngest team member competing at the 2018 Commonwealth Games. Over the past couple of years, she has also broken a number of Scottish, British and European records, and was part of the world record breaking 4 x 100m medley relay team.
We look forward to seeing Toni continue to progress towards her goal of attending the Tokyo Paralympics, and inspiring newer swimmers and paraswimmers progressing up the pathway.
Well done to Toni!
