JODY ANNANDALE

 

Jody started skating at age 6 and became the youngest British skater to pass the senior test at age 11. Amongst her many achievements are gaining silver medals at international camps in Italy and Croatia. She was the British Novice Champion in 2001 and the British Primary Champion in 2003. During the 2004/2005 season, Jody became the Scottish Junior Ladies Champion and also the British Ladies Champion.
