Layla Annison is from Wymondham Archers in Norfolk. She started archery at an after-school club at her junior school. After leaving for high school, she got her first compound bow at the age of 11. She joined the Archery GB development squad at 13 then started representing GB at 14.  

Layla’s biggest achievement so far is winning a silver medal as part of the women’s team at the Hyundai World Cup Stage 3 in Paris in 2021 and winning the National Tour final in September 2021. Layla won silver again at Stage 3 of the World Cup as part of the women’s team in 2022. She finished 2nd at the National Tour Final in 2022. 

Her goals for the year are to keep her place on the GB senior and youth teams, shoot a 700 on a WA720 and to maintain good health, mentally and physically. She is currently studying an Access course to HE (higher education) in science and applying to go to university to hopefully study physiotherapy. Outside of archery, Layla enjoys painting nails and going to the gym.
