Steeple Bumpstead triathlete Barbara Leverett won the St Edmundsbury Sports Personality of the Year Award at the St Edmundsbury Sports Awards last year. The award, sponsored in 2009 by Haldo Signs and Graphics, is presented to the sports person who has made great progress over time and has achieved a vast deal.
The St Edmundsbury Sports Personality of the Year Award is the third award she has won in the last year. Barbara went forward to the Suffolk Sports Awards in October and was a runner up. She was also a runner up in the Living Sport Award in Cambridge, just losing out to the England Cricket Captain Charlotte Edwards, who led the team to victory in the Ashes.
Barbara joins a prestigious number of St Edmundsbury Sports Award winners from the Haverhill area, including Haverhill Rugby Club junior section (Club), Samantha Milner (Young Sports Personality), Tom Cole (triumph over adversity), Alessia Thomas-Jackson (young sports personality), Steffi Biller (sports personality).
Barbara said: “These awards are extremely important as they focus on local sporting achievements and they seek to inspire other up-and-coming sports men and women in St Edmundsbury to strive for success both locally, nationally and internationally. I urge people in the Haverhill area to vote for their local sporting stars.”
