A HAYBRIDGE High School student, propelling into the world of triathlon, has received support from a law firm.

Olive Thomas, aged 13, from Clent has caught the attention of Thursfields, a West Midlands law firm with her triathlon achievements.

She is involved with Halesowen Tri, Wyre Forest Swimming Club, and Halesowen Athletics and Cycling Club and won her Tristar 2 age group in the 2022 West Midlands British Triathlon Junior series.

Olive said: “Once I have completed Tristar 3, I hope to be considered for the Midlands Regional Academy.

“There is tough competition, but I am passionate and committed to making the squad, and long-term hope to represent my country in the Olympics.”

Shane Miller, family law director at Thursfields said “I am truly inspired by Olive's incredible journey. With determination and passion, she has already achieved remarkable feats, becoming the U13 Girls Worcestershire and Warwickshire Cross Country Champion and the U13 Girls West Midlands Cross Country Champion.

“Olive's exceptional talent and unwavering dedication fuel our excitement as we eagerly follow her path to reach the pinnacle of her sport.”
