LAUREN ON SHORT LEET FOR BBC YOUNG PERSONALITY OF YEAR

Woburn Golf Club member Lauren Taylor from Rugby, at 16 the youngest ever winner of the British women's open amateur golf championship at Royal Portrush GC, Northern Ireland last June, is on the shortleet of 10 contenders for the BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year Award.
Liam Broady (tennis), Sally Brown (athletics), Tom Daley (diving), Lucy Garner (cycling), Jack Laugher (diving), Pat McCormack (boxing), Laura Robson (tennis), Eleanor Simmonds (swimmin), Lauren Taylor (golf) and Anthony (Rugby Union)  have all made the short list and one of them will be crowned 2011 BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year, at the awards show on December 22.
The accolade, which is awarded by the BBC in partnership with the Youth Sport Trust, is decided by a panel chaired by BBC Sport presenter John Inverdale.
The panel also included BBC Sport presenters Jake Humphrey, Ore Oduba, Sonali Shah and previous Young Sports Personality of the Year winner Amy Spencer.
Together, they worked through a huge list of contenders to pick the top 10. All of the young hopefuls have either achieved international success at junior level, or have performed supremely well for their age at senior level.
Past winners of the Young Sports Personality trophy include Tom Daley, Wayne Rooney, Andy Murray and Eleanor Simmonds.
There will be questionnaires with each contender available on the BBC Sport website over the coming days, done by BBC School Reporters from Hamble Community Sports College in Southampton.
