ON Katie Cox Awarded Elite Athletic Performance Scholarship

11 October 2018

Katie Cox (ON 08-18) has been awarded an Elite Athletic Performance Scholarship from Liverpool University in recognition of her skills as a squash player.

 

The Elite Athlete scheme at Sport Liverpool is designed to support and help the very best student athletes in any sporting discipline who are competing at a Junior, Under 21 or Senior regional, national and international level balance an academic and sporting career. Katie is currently studying Medicine at Liverpool University, where she started in September after gaining her A-Level results from Norwich School this summer. The scholarship will provide her with the flexibility and assistance she needs to combine her undergraduate studies with training and competition commitments.

Katie certainly hasn’t let her busy university schedule interrupt her squash playing so far, as she also became Norfolk’s Under 19’s East Regional Closed Champion last weekend – well done Katie!
