Lucy Woodward poised to compete in historic heptathlon for Jersey

Lucy Woodward is set to become the first woman from Jersey to compete in heptathlon at the Commonwealth Games, taking place in Glasgow later this week. The 23-year-old qualified with a personal best score of 5391 points, just shy of the 5400 mark, after a successful performance in Germany. Woodward, who works full-time as an architect in London, trains six days a week and looks to balance her professional and athletic commitments. Competing in the heptathlon represents a significant opportunity for Woodward, and she aims to use this event as a stepping stone in her athletic career.
