Lucy's start to 2015 includes medals in British and European indoor championships LOCAL CHARITY THE TRAVERS FOUNDATION SPONSORS LOCAL HURDLER LUCY HATTON
Lucy Hatton, 20, from Corby and studying Criminology at The University of Leicester, has had a terrific start to the 2015 season.
A silver medal at the European Indoor Championships in Prague, and three personal bests - this local lass is going places! She is currently ranked 2nd in the UK, 5th in Europe and 6th in the world for senior 60m hurdles.
Lucy is sponsored by The Travers Foundation, which helps 13 to 30 year olds living in Northamptonshire, Rutland or Leicestershire improve their skills in sports, the creative arts and the performing arts.
The Travers Foundation helps with funding for Lucy's travel and accommodation at competitions, coaching, kit and massage treatment.
Lucy explains: "I've got big plans for 2015, I find that travel is my biggest expenditure particularly when I go to Europe to compete
"Another major cost is treatments such as massage - with training six times a week my hamstrings and glutes get tight and need loosening off, which becomes expensive over the year.
"It's fantastic that The Travers Foundation can help me with these costs. This frees up my time to concentrate on important things like my performance on the track.
"My GB experience has been incredible and Prague was just what I needed to develop as an athlete and move forward into the outdoor season.
"To come away with three personal bests and a silver medal is outstanding - I'm looking to convert this to outdoors and show there is more to come!"
Terry Forsey of The Travers Foundation added: "We are delighted to be able to assist Lucy - she's a rising local star and gets no other financial support such as National Lottery Funding. We wish her all the best and look forward to her continued success in 2015!"
