How does being an athlete make you a better student?
"I'm far more productive when my days are busy with lectures, seminars and lacrosse training!"
Anna's sporting achievements over the past two years include captaining the U23 England Team, seeing them win gold at the World Cup Festival, as well as captaining the Home Internationals B Team. She is a member of the Senior England World Cup Squad and was selected for the England Team for the Canada 6s tournament. As well as her national achievements, Anna has earned a Cambridge Lacrosse Blue, has captained and coached CUWLC, won two consecutive Varsity matches, and was awarded MVP at Varsity 2022.
Having already secured Varsity victory with CUWLC, this sporting year Anna also aims to be selected for the England A Team for the Home Internationals, and establish herself as a core member of the Senior lacrosse team, in hope of putting herself in the best position to be selected for the European Championships.
