Name: Lucy Evans

Age: 15

Favourite sport: 

My favourite sports are swimming, pistol shooting, running, horse riding and triathlon.

Who is your sporting role model and why? 

Hannah Miley - Olympic Swimmer. 

Hannah is very local to my area and I have met her a couple of times at various swimming galas. She is an inspiration as she is very dedicated and committed and also demonstrates how coming out of a smaller area of the country is at no disadvantage and to make the most out of the facilities available. 

Stefan Hoggan - Stefan is a Paralympic triathlete and is also an inspiration as he has been through so much to get to where he is today and proves anything is possible if you put your mind to it. He also stands up for various viewpoints he believes in and doesn't let anyone else or haters influence his beliefs.

Best sporting achievement: 

3rd team and 31st individually (out of 81) at the British Tetrathlon championships.

Selected to represent Scotland at the British Modern Triathlon Championships (Shooting swimming and running)

Gold medals in the 100 and 200 back crawl at the Moray Schools Swimming Time Trials

3rd team and 6th individual at the Scottish Senior Schools pistol championships 

Won my age category of the Winter pistol shoot competition

Selected to represent Scotland North at the Inter District cross country

3rd team overall in the North District Cross Country league

Why do you enjoy sport?

Its the best way to keep fit both mentally and physically. It is really nice meeting new people and making new friends. Sport also gives you the opportunity to get pushed out of your comfort one and experience things you wouldn't experience otherwise. Especially during exams sport is an excellent alternative to studying and gives you something else to do to help de-stress.

What is your sport goal for the future?

In the future, I would love to get selected for more national teams. I would also like to carry on sport at university and when I am older. I would also like to improve my mindset whilst competing.

What's your favourite everacitv item and why?

My favourite everactiv item has to be the core elite 1/4 zip long sleeve top. it is super for training all year round for a wide variety of sports and it looks really good too!
