Katy Miles 14, from Bere Alston who attends Plymouth College travelled to Helsinki at the beginning of December to compete for Great Britain in the European U17 Cadet Epee fencing competition.
Katy is in her first year in U17’s and this was her second international at this level. She did extremely well in the individual event, making it through to the finals. Her finals placing of 53rd was 2nd of her GBR teammates and moves her up to 7th of the British girls ranked in Europe. Katy then joined British teammate Rachael Lever from Northampton and a Danish fencer for the team competition on Sunday. The team fenced brilliantly and after a nerve wracking time, eventually losing to the eventual runners up, they came 10th overall, moving them up to 1st of the British teams ranked in Europe.
