Bethany Ellis won the silver medal in the under 16s Individual Championships at the Senior Schools International event held in Largs, Scotland.
Bethany, a Year 10 pupil at Morecambe Bay Academy, also won bronze in the team event.
England dominated the Senior Schools International, returning with a haul of team and individual medals – including two podium clean sweeps in the individual Under-14 events.
