BETH Coton has won a tennis scholarship at the University of Northern Colorado.

The 18-year-old Bolton School student said: “I will be playing tennis at 6am every morning before classes and will also play some evenings and weekends. It is important I balance the two as I have to keep my grades high to continue with the tennis and vice versa.”

Northern Colorado women’s tennis head coach, Brenda Vlasak, said: “Beth brings a ton of talent and heavy strokes that will be a force to reckon with. We are looking forward to working with her to help her reach the next level as a tennis player and we know she’s someone who will fit right in with our players and our staff.”
