We are delighted to announce that the winner of the Sports Club Personality of the Year is... Rebecca Howitt!
St. John’s College student Rebecca has had an inspirational impact as part of CU Swimming and Water Polo Club, as Women’s Water Polo Captain & Social Secretary.
“Her positivity and bubbly personality are infectious and everyone smiles a little wider and laughs a little more whenever she is around. Becca has ensured that the entire team has been able to keep fit and have fun together during a year in which most people have seen each other more times over a computer screen than in person!”
During this unusual year, Rebecca has managed to drive participation in the women’s water polo team, increasing membership numbers and facilitating training opportunities for players, many of whom are new to the sport.
All the while, Rebecca has adapted activities on a bustling social calendar to ensure that club members feel united as a team, organising online workouts and Zoom socials.
“Becca has inspired every single female on our team and will be truly missed next year, though I am sure she will still help next year's committee and support the team from Germany and South America!”
Rebecca leaves for a year abroad as part of her MML studies, with the team in a great position after her fantastic efforts to energise members in 2020-21.
