Another award for Amy as she gets ready for Commonwealth Games

As reported in last week’s ‘STAR,’ golfer Paula Grant bagged the Presidents Plate for the second year in a row for the most outstanding sportsperson at the Coleraine campus.

The other top award also went to a Lisburn lassie with Ireland athletics star Amy Foster deservedly receiving the Silver Salver for her record-breaking performances throughout the university year.

The final year Sport, Exercise and Leisure student at Jordanstown got the award for the most outstanding sports person in Jordanstown and Belfast after most recently securing her place in the Commonwealth Games and the European Championships and equalling the Irish 100m record all in one fell swoop.

The City of Lisburn club member also holds the 100m and 200m Northern Irish records, not to mention her fifth place finish at the World University Games in Russia last summer.

Now the Lisburn girl is in the thick of her preparations for the Commonwealth Games, the athletics beginning on Sunday 27 July.
