Kooyong’s Sarah Cardwell is off to the Glasgow Commonwealth Games later this year and she is over the moon about the experience she will gain.
Sarah, still just 22, has been selected as the reserve for the squash team so may play singles, doubles or not at all but she is taking that all in her stride.
"I am perfect for that spot because I'm so excited for the experience," she said.
"I've heard people not be happy with the reserve spot before but I'm so keen for the experience even if I do just watch every match."
And being the youngest member of the squad by some distance means she can take it all in with her long term goal of winning a medal at the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast well within her sights.
Sarah recently returned from a lengthy trip overseas and was also runner up at the City of Perth Open while she will now turn her attention to the Victorian Open as well as a possible start in the Kooyong International.
With a current world ranking of 55, Sarah will be looking to use this experience as a springboard to bigger things over the coming years and will no doubt relish the opportunity to mix with the world’s top players.
We wish Sarah all the best for the Commonwealth Games and beyond!
