Running career
In June 2019, Hunt rose to prominence when she ran in a 200m junior race in Mannheim, Germany, in what was her fifth competitive race outdoors at that distance. Her time of 22.42s was a new world record for Under-18 women. In the summer of 2019, she won gold medals in both the 200m and 4x100m at the European Under-20 Championships. Her transition into senior athletics was disrupted by Covid-19, and then a serious leg injury in early 2022. Following surgery, she returned to the track in late 2022 for a single 200m race, but was still clearly affected by the trauma of the injury. University studies and graduation saw Amy only start training fully in early June 2023, she came 5th in the 100m final at the British Championships and was part of the winning U23 British 4 x 100m relay squad in Espoo, Finland at the U23 European Championships. Finally starting to find some form, and a switch to Coach Marco Airale, saw Amy race to 11.13s over 100m at the London Community Track in August 2023, to go 9th all time over 100m in the UK.International competitions
