Poem
Jade is a wheelchair racer, distance events, Competing in the 400m, 800m, 1500m T54, Born with her femur missing she attended, Ormesby School which is in Middlesbrough. From there she enrolled in Prior Pursglove, A college in Guisborough which took her, Onto NE’s University of Teesside and Law, Where she learns legal mechanisms, rules. While Jade was at school on a sports day, Tanni Grey-Thompson visited and spotted, This talent bursting with energy and spirit, And allowed her to try a racing wheelchair. Ian Thompson, Tanni’s husband, on that day, Was also present, and, being a good doctor, And knowledgable about different chair types, Was able to advise on posture and comfort. Only a few weeks later, Tanni was teaching Jade how to race, every day and in every way, Such that Jade fought at sports meets to win, The sprint and also long distances: stickability. New Zealand and Christchurch, IPC Worlds, Sprung Jade into the limelight, finished fifth, At 200m, and she made the London Paras, But failed to win a podium medal: 3 secs out. In the Great North Run in the junior event, Which was only 2k long, Jade won this jaunt, In 4 mins 12. In 2013 she made the Worlds In Lyon, coming fourth in the 400m, middle. Then Swansea in 2014 and the Europeans, And for the 800m Jade came 2nd, a silver, In the 1500m she came 3rd with a bronze, So her first internationals did sail her boat. Same year, but at the Commonwealth’s, Jade won the bronze in the 1500m chase, To take her onto Rio bold, but there she, Didn’t manage to procure a podium stop.
