​Marriott, who was competing a year above her age group, finished seventh in the final race of the series at Derby which was enough for a place on the overall podium.

Marriott ended a remarkable season by adding to her second place in the European Championships and third place in the Worlds by also winning the Bill Baggs Memorial trophy for ‘showing the most promising potential and exhibiting good behaviour through the season.’
