Poppy’s mother told us that her last competition was at Lee Valley Athletics Centre, London - As part of the Pentathlon she has to take part in 5 events in one day (high jump, long jump, 60m hurdles, shot put and finally finishing with 800m). Her last competition saw her smash 4/5 personal bests.  Well done Poppy!
