A TEENAGER from Tenby has had her commitment to volunteering recognised.

Greenhill School pupil Tegan Foley was recently named as Welsh Athletics’ volunteer of the month after volunteering at the Commonwealth Games in Australia.

Seventeen-year-old Tegan, who helped at the games alongside her father Luke, was a field of play team member responsible for bringing out and moving the athletics blocks and marker lanes for the 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m and hurdles events.

Based in the Carrara Stadium for the athletics, Tegan, herself a fine athlete, saw many athletes, including those in Team Wales.

“Volunteering for the 2018 Commonwealth Games was a once in a lifetime opportunity and something that I will always be proud of,” she said.

“Being a start line assistant meant that I was responsible for carrying out the blocks and lane markers for many of the sprint and hurdle races.

“The most exciting part of the Games for me was seeing athletes push themselves to the absolute limit and beyond,” she added.
