RIO SELECTION
In April 2016 she missed out on automatic qualification for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro after finishing second to Chloe Tutton in the 200m breaststroke at the 2016 British Championships in Glasgow, Scotland. However, she was selected to the British team as her time was within two percent of the benchmark time included within the British Olympic Association [BOA] selection policy for both the individual and relay events. In 2012 she missed out on a place on the British Olympic team as her time for the 200m breaststroke was less than a second outside the qualifying standard.
