“It’s a massive honor to win,” she said.”I’ve sat in the audience for the last few years and I’ve been in awe of the athletes who have received this award.”So to be on the other side and be the recipient is a testimony to hard work and perseverance, and it’s also a continued testimony of the quality of the team up in Leeds.”
