Exciting to see the unveiling of a series of huge frames in our Sports Hall recently – each one containing the sports kit of a young WHS sporting heroine. They are in a prime position which is designed to inspire their fellow Wimbledonians every time they pass by.
Each piece of kit represents a significant moment in time for these sports stars – Hannah Klugman, Madeleine Marshall, Anisa Arumugam and Amelie Rees: Hannah’s kit was worn when she represented GB and her tennis raquet was used at the Wimbledon Championships; Maddie’s kit from her time representing New Zealand Gymnastics; Anisa for GB Gymnastics and Amelie for England Hockey.
You can read more about their achievements below – their determination and dedication to their sport shines through:
Look out for more featured sportwomen on our walls as we go through the year!

At just 16, Hannah Klugman emerged as one of Britain’s most exciting young tennis prospects demonstrating early international success.
Her breakthrough came at 14 when she became the first British girl to win the U18 Orange Bowl. In 2025 she reached the final of the French Open Juniors, the semi finals of the US Open juniors and quarter finals of Wimbledon juniors, propelling her to a career‑high junior world ranking of No. 1 in January 2026. She has also begun to make her mark on the women’s circuit, reaching a career‑high WTA ranking of 510 in October 2024. A year earlier, she became the youngest player (14 years, 8 months) to qualify for a W100 ITF event, reaching the quarter‑finals in Shrewsbury and surpassing a record previously held by Coco Gauff.
Hannah grew up immersed in the tennis world, first playing at age three at Westside Lawn Tennis Club. She was coached early on by Alison Taylor, wife of former Wimbledon semi‑finalist Roger Taylor, and has trained under Ben Haran since the age of nine.
A talented all‑round athlete, she eventually chose tennis over hockey, drawn to the individuality and competitiveness of the sport. Attending Wimbledon High from the age of four, she played for all the first teams in the junior school; a couple of highlights were finishing 2nd in the Surrey Schools Cross Country and helping the U11 tennis team reach the Regional tennis finals , only just missing out to the eventual national winners. In 2023 she made the difficult decision to continue her studies online to balance her growing tennis commitments with studying for her GCSEs — a move that enabled her to compete at the French Open juniors and Wimbledon in the same year as taking her GCSEs.
Now transitioning from junior slams to senior Grand Slam opportunities, Hannah is focused on breaking into the top tiers of the women’s game. Inspired by players such as Ash Barty, she remains grounded in her Wimbledon roots while embracing the demands of international competition. Her long‑term ambition is clear: to compete — and one day triumph — at the sport’s biggest tournaments, all while keeping her love for the game at the centre of her journey.

Madeleine (Maddie) Marshall’s journey from a Tumble Tots class in southwest London to the world stage of artistic gymnastics is quite a story.
Her path to elite competition was unconventional. Maddie joined her first official gymnastics club at age ten and by 13 was competing at Nationals. During the Covid19 lockdowns she trained relentlessly at home and alone in her local gym. At school, Madeleine was both an Academic and a Sports Scholar and was part of the school gymnastics club up until Y10, enjoying competing in Surrey Schools floor and vault or tumbling competitions. Her highlight from school sports was the annual Gym and Dance display.
A club change in 2021 accelerated her rise, culminating in a second place finish on floor at the Nationals. In 2022, she made her senior British Championships debut. Later that year, she switched allegiance to New Zealand through ancestral qualification — a decision that paid off immediately. She finished second allaround at the 2022 New Zealand National Championships, winning first place on floor.
In October 2023, she secured a place at the World Championships, competing against the greatest gymnast of all time, Simone Biles; one of the highlights of her career so far.
During Y13, Madeleine produced her strongest performance yet at a World Cup event in Doha, placing ninth on vault. Subsequently, she flew to New Zealand (missing an A-level Physics paper) to compete at the Oceania Championships in the hope of a spot on New Zealand’s Olympic team. However, a rolled ankle meant she was ruled out of the competition and possible Olympic selection.
Despite this, she achieved outstanding A*, A*, A in Spanish, Maths and Physics and gained a place to study Modern and Medieval Languages at St John’s, Cambridge.
During her gap year, she combined gymnastics with working as a Junior School PE assistant back at Wimbledon High and enjoyed continued success on the international circuit, despite a broken elbow in November 2024, with appearances in a World Cup event in Croatia and Qatar where she reached the final on vault and achieved a personal best.
Maddie is currently training at Huntingdon Gymnastics Club while studying at Cambridge University and hopes to compete at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow next year, as well as the University Games in 2027.

Amelie was a Sports Scholar, winning numerous prizes throughout Senior School for hockey and the coveted Victrix Ludorum Cup – for outstanding performance and success in sport – twice. Her breakthrough came when was selected for the 2023 Great Britain Elite Development Hockey Squad. She was also selected as one of the Royal Bank of Canadas Sports aid athletes, one of just 50 athletes across 34 sports chosen for national support.
