Hey! I’m Emma, a sprint (100m) hurdler from the UK with big dreams and even bigger hurdles to overcome!
I’ve dedicated my life to athletics and have proudly represented Great Britain on the European and World stages. But, like many athletes, the journey to the top isn’t just about talent—it’s about resources, support, and opportunity.
My Stats:
- PB: 8.07 (60m hurdles)
- PB: 12.87 (12.81w)
- Coach (track): Joel Brown
- Coach (S&C): Cory Bell
My Achievements:
- Current UK No. 2 in Sprint Hurdles (9th All time)
- Sun Belt Indoor & Outdoor Champion
- Big Ten Indoor & Outdoor Champion
- NCAA D1 All-American Indoor & Outdoor
- National Indoor & Outdoor Champion
- x2 British Silver Medallist hurdler
- International GB Athlete – European & World Stage
My Goals:
- Obtain P1 USA Visa (~£7,000)
- World Indoor Championships 2026
- Commonwealth Games 2026
- European Championships 2026
- Olympic Games 2028
- Break Hurdle National Record (12.50)
Why I Need Your Help:
My coach is based in America so I can only train with him during two month training camps. Without a visa or consistent funding, I can’t stay long enough to train consistently, and I can’t work in the US to support myself. When I'm back in the UK, I train solo, record my sessions, and send videos to him for feedback. It’s not ideal ... but I make it work.
I want to secure a visa by the end of 2025 and train full-time in America, giving myself the best shot at world-class performance and standing on that Olympic podium!
