Tayside athlete, Freya Howgate finished her most successful season in athletics with victory at the 2017 Cerebral Palsy Sport National Athletics Championships in Nottingham. The Perth Strathtay Harriers athlete has soared from personal best to personal best this season, culminating in 4 gold medals at the CP Sport event. Freya was awarded gold medals in the T37 100m, shot put, discus and javelin events. Alongside this, Freya was awarded Under 20 Athletic Series 2017 Winner for Female Field. The Kilgraston School pupil is a shining example of hard work and dedication to her sport and is a role model for many younger athletes starting their athletics journey.
Jim Hunter, President and Coach at Perth Strathtay Harriers was very proud of Freya’s performance across the competition and season:
“Freya was a youngster when she joined the club and this has been her most successful season in both track and field. Adjusting her training plans has paid dividends. Freya has chipped away at her personal bests across the season and is consistently developing. Freya is a very dedicated athlete, training multiple times a week and balancing this alongside her studies. She is a great ambassador for Perth Strathtay Harriers.”
