After an incredible season that saw her break onto to scene as a world class senior swimmer, Aberdeen’s Toni Shaw was awarded the Disability Sport title at this year’s Sunday Mail sportscotland Scottish Sports Awards.
Shaw fought off tough competition from RaceRunning phenomenon, Gavin Drysdale, and fellow Grampian Champion, Neil Fachie to earn the top spot. It follows a busy but successful year for Toni where she rocked home with a plethora of silverware whilst making her debut as a senior at the European World Para Swimming Championships in Dublin and was also made the face of Scottish Swimming’s new Learn to Swim framework. Being the youngest competitor in Team Scotland at this year’s Commonwealth Games and reaching the final in almost all of her events was another of this year’s impressive highlights.
Well done to Toni and thank you to her coaches, supporters and family who have helped her get where she is today!
