CoPA Success Continues at Beacon Games
Another successful day for CoPA at the combined Beacon Games and Leeds Open competition at Leeds today:
- Daisy Rushton finished second in the 13-15 age figures category whilst representing England Development (and Preston!) to take a silver medal,
- Rhea Howard finished 2nd in the 15-18 figures representing Preston in the open category to take a silver medal,
- Leah Meyer finished 24th out of 60 competitors in the 13-15 figures. A very pleasing result considering that most of those finishing ahead of her were members of either England Talent or Beacon Squads,
- Natasha Howard representing Leeds Beacon (and Preston!) finished 16th out of 59 competitors in the 12 and under figures.
Congratulations girls!
