The accolades continue to come Lucy Garner's way after she was named Female Pupil of the Year at the Aviva/Daily Telegraph School Sport Matters awards.
The world, European and British junior road-race champion was nominated for the award by Countesthorpe College, and was presented with her trophy at Lord's by Olympic heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis.
"I am pretty shocked," said the 18-year-old from Cosby.
"I was up against some great competitors, so I feel really lucky to have won this award."
Garner's 2012 triumphs also included a brace of gold medals at the European junior track championships and two more successes in the senior national track championships at Manchester, in September.
She is currently in the Netherlands upping her winter training schedule before tackling a first professional season in 2013, having signed for the Argos-Shimano squad.
"I am moving up from junior to senior so I will be racing against the best women in the world. It really is a big step up," she said.
"I am expecting a lot of challenges, and I'm hoping to learn so much."
The Aviva and Daily Telegraph School Sport Matters Awards recognise outstanding achievements in school sport across the country and are part of Aviva's wider commitment to support the next generation of British sporting talent. For more information, go to:
