KNOX PUPIL IS BEST IN EAST LOTHIAN

Knox Academy pupil Holly Ramage (5L2) won the Young Sports Person of the Year Award at East Lothian Council's Celebrating Sport 2011 Awards.

Holly beat a host of young talented athletes from around the county to secure the top individual prize for young athletes. Holly had an outstanding 2011, with her highlight being the silver medal she picked up at the Northern European Gymnastics competition in Sweden earlier in the year. Her performances in 2011 have seen her selected for the 2014 Commonwealth Games training squad, and Holly is definitely one to watch for the games in 2 years time.

It was an excellent night all round for Knox Academy and Haddington. Perenial contenders Hannah Laing and Megan Richardson were finalists in the Team of the Year category after another highly successful 2011 on the badminton circuit, and Neil Howie's performances for the Scottish Disability Swimming Squad earned him a place in the final of the Disabled Athlete of the Year Award.

Local coach with Haddington Athletic Raymond Daniel also picked up the Volunteer of the Year Award.

Congratulations to Holly, and all the other winners and finalists.
