On the Track

Since being spotted by her athletic club Woodford Green & Essex Ladies AC in 2017 when she was just nine years old competing in her local Junior ParkRun (where she still holds the U10 local course record), Isabelle went on to excel in middle distances, winning National and County medals in both Cross Country, 600m & 800m.

In 2019, Isabelle chose to move away from cross country and middle distance running and concentrate on sprints and multi-events, she had a short spell practicing for the Pentathlon, where she found a passion and talent for hurdling. In her first season she ranked as the 3rd fasted British 11yr old of all time over 60mH with a time of 9.70.

In both the 2021 outdoor and the 2021/2022 indoor athletic seasons, Isabelle started positively, leading age rankings in 60mH, 75mH & 300m, before both seasons were curtailed by injury; a stress fracture to her Fibula and then Bursa to her Metatarsal.

In 2022, coached by Olympic medallist and Commonwealth Champion Hurdler, Tony Jarrett, Isabelle completed her rehabilitation with her track season peaking in Gothenburg, where she won a bronze medal at the World Youth Games, before her season was again curtailed early, this time through contracting the Coronavirus.

Having suffered ‘post-viral fatigue’ from Coronavirus, Isabelle then found out that she was also had iron deficiency anaemia and subsequently has chose not to compete in the 2022/2023 winter indoor season, to focus on getting back to full fitness for the summer ahead.

Having re-joined the coaching set-up at Woodford Green & Essex Ladies towards the back-end of 2022 under the guidance of former Olympic 400mH Gladys Bird, Isabelle focused her attention on competing in 300mH and went on win both the 2023 Essex Championship and Essex Schools alongside being selected to compete in the English Schools National Finals.

Isabelle is currently looking forwards to the 2024 summer track season!
