About Penny

Penny is the youngest on the squad, at just 18 years old. She started archery when she was 9, after watching the Disney movie “Brave”. It inspired her to have a go at archery, as it looked enjoyable and she used to do horse riding. Penny did her beginners course at Audco Archers. Penny’s proudest achievement to date is winning the Indoor World Series Finals in 2022 in Las Vegas. Along with shooting the European junior, national senior and junior WA720 record. Her advice to archers is to work hard and enjoy what you do! “You shoot your best when you're having fun, and the hard work is what helps you reach your full potential as an archer.”

Penny’s goal for 2022 was to make the senior international team which she has now achieved, put in some new personal bests and to medal internationally. She medaled twice as part of the women's recurve team winning gold and silver at different stages of the Hyundai World Cup. She also came 1st in the National Tour Final 2022. Outside of archery, she likes to listen to music, and achieved her grade 5 for violin.
