A budding cycling star with her sights set on the Los Angeles Olympics has managed to land a set of top exam results.
Erin Boothman, who attends Williamwood High, is a member of the Junior GB track cycling squad.
Like thousands of other school pupils across the country today, the 17-year-old received marks for her Highers, achieving four As and a B.
The teenager, from Netherlee, said: “Preparing for the exams was certainly a juggle because I was away racing a lot.
"Although when I was training it gave me a good break from studying and I felt the balance worked well.
“I made a plan for making sure I got enough studying done and stuck to it, so I was delighted when I got results this morning to see I’d done so well.”
With her excellent Higher results under her belt, Erin is now looking forward to heading off to China in a couple of weeks to compete in the world championships.
“I’m now preparing to head to the world championships and the ultimate aim is to make it to the Olympics in LA in 2028,” she added.
“Watching the start of the track cycling at the Paris Olympics is certainly inspirational and I’d love to make it to that stage.”
