WOODRUSH High School pupil Kathryn Powell was awarded a silver medal in the British Rhythmic Gymnastics Team Championships.
Powell, 17, competed with four others from the City of Birmingham Gymnastics Club in the Senior Group category, in which the gymnasts were required to perform two different routines.
The first required dexterity and skill as the group threw, caught and twirled ten clubs to a modern pop song, while the second combined both ribbons and balls to great effect.
Their achievement was even more impressive as they overcame a last-minute substitution due to injury, but despite this the gymnasts were able to maintain their high standards.
Positioning at this event also determines the league category which the gymnasts will compete in throughout 2015.
Powell and her group qualified for the highest league for Rhythmic Gymnastics.
This success followed on from winning two bronze medals at the British Club Team Championships in October last year, which saw both the senior team and the City of Birmingham GC placed third.
