Stuart McCallum competes for GB against an Olympic Champion!

Winchester athlete, Stuart McCallum, won his first GB senior vest and represented GB in the European Cross Country Championships held in Dublin at the weekend.

nStuart has been a WADAC member since his school days and both his parents have been chairs of the club. Previously, Stuart was coached by David Vosser but now trains himself out of London. This was Stuart's first GB vest and is a testimony to his hard work over the years and his commitment to improve, despite working full time. He continues to compete for WADAC where he can.
nHis experience demonstrates quite clearly that athletes have the potential to achieve GB vests at any point in their career and should continue to work hard for their goals, even if the recognition doesn't come immediately.
nI have passed on our congratulations to him. Well done Stuart.
