Jess Stretton

Jess was only born in 2000, in the millennial year, 
So she’s just a young thing, but she’s a bookworm, 
She trains at the Lillishall sports centre, has gear, 
And comes from Hemel Hempstead, very warm. 

She found her archery through a sports camp, 
The Wheelpower Junior Games camp diverse, 
And Stoke Mandeville encouraged her, lamp, 
To shoot every shot with concentration terse.

Her breaking achievement was at the Worlds, 
In 2015, the Paras in Donaueschingen, Germany, 
Where she took the individual with sharp swords, 
Then at the Euros 2016, she got the silver penny.
