Rachel Tullett, Prize winner Trampolinist Rachel Tullett won the Junior Disabled Prize at last night's Kingston Borough Sports Awards capping off a very successful debut year within the sport, having reached the British Trampoline Finals in July.
Despite suffering from cystic fibrosis, the 17-year-old gymnast trains at least three times a week at Kingston College’s Trampoline Academy.
Tullett has experienced a great start to her trampolining career, which has been further boosted by the news that she has been selected for the 2009/10 Great Britain GMPD TRA National Development Squad.
Here two experienced national squad coaches, Paul Coates and Justine Abraham, will be challenging Tullett to fight for a place in the 2012 Olympic squad.
Tullett was delighted:
"This is my ultimate dream and I now have the chance to train alongside 15 other gymnasts who are the very best in my discipline."
