Huge congratulations to our athlete Alex Riley, who will be representing Team GB at the World Athletics U20 Championships in Peru next month over 1500m.
Alex has had a superb season despite missing weeks of training in the Spring due to injury. In July, in his last English Schools’ competition, he took the top spot on the podium, winning in a sprint finish to the line to be crowned 1500m Champion.
Earlier in the season, he broke the club’s under-20 1500m record, held by a certain Steve Ovett, clocking a time of 3:42.37.
Last week, Alex took silver at the England U20 Champs behind George Couttie, who will be his 1500m teammate in Peru.
