Jodie competed in a few of the British national events and this gave her an insight of where she needed progress to, with just a few of these events completed Jodie finished the season ranked number 32.
  • 2018, at age 14, Jodie pushed herself to move into the 15+ age group for the national series where again she made podiums at each event and came away with the Irish National title once again.
