Katie Latham has been nominated for the young sports star of the year award at Kent Regional News and Media’s Sports Award 2012.
The Dover Express have recognised Katie’s incredible year which has seen her perform at the London 2012 Olympic Aquatic Centre and they have put her forward for the award.
Sports Write Jack Wilson said “Katie has done remarkably and it shows that if you put in the hard work in you get the rewards. She trains so hard at Thanet Swim Club. Competition will be strong for this award but Katie has as good a chance as anyone as her achievements have been so great”.
