 |
Matt Hill - (15/12/82) Disc problems have
restricted Matt's appearances for the Club in the last couple of seasons
and have meant that he has had to call time on his cross country career.
However, he still has track aspirations and expect to see him in action
over 800 and 1500 during the summer months. |
 |
Andy Hodge - (18/12/68) A 2.10 high jumper
at his best, work commitments have not allowed him to train to his peak
in last couple of years. A good all rounder, he has also run 14.94 for
the 110 hurdles. A former President of the Cambridge University
Athletics Club. |
 |
Stephen Holmes - (17/10/80) Has been lying
fallow for a year or so but is now back in full training at Brunel
University under the watchful eye of his team captain Michael Skinner. A
member of the Clubs Under 17 team who won the National Cross Country
title in 1998. Also a talented 800 and 1500 metre runner. |
 |
Richard Holt - (28/11/71) Richard's
athletics career is on hold at the moment because of viral problems. At
his best he is a top class 400 metre hurdler who received a Club Honours
award for reaching the final of the AAA's championships where he timed
52.11. A former captain of the Young Athletes team. Also a coach with a
fast improving squad. Currently developing an athletics website. |
 |
Scott Jarred - (6/3/79) Another example of
an athlete who may not have been a first choice in the younger age
groups but who has flourished to become an important member of the
British League squad. Main event is the 400 but he is not averse to
putting in the odd appearance in the 400 hurdles or 200 and is always
good for a leg in the 4x400. |
 |
Costas Karageorghis - (15/9/69) Dr Costas,
as he is now, has been competing for the Club since his days as a Young
Athlete. He has on occasion represented the British League team but can
generally be seen in action in the Southern League where his main events
are the sprints. This does not preclude the odd 400 relay leg or long
jump, in fact anything to help the team. A talented keyboard player, his
rousing version of "Rawhide" at his Clubhouse "gigs"
are remembered by all who attended. Lecturer in Psychology at Brunel
University and a dad. |
 |
Nigel Keogh - (18/7/67) Has competed in over
50 British League matches for the Club which is quite an achievement
when there are only four in a season. Quite often seen running the 400
hurdles, 400 and 4x400 during the course of an afternoon, he was
deservedly made a Vice President of the Club. Has also run under 2
minutes for 800, run 36 minutes for 10km and run in cross country mob
matches. Nigel is a former Irish 400 hurdles champion. He is now in semi
retirement but did make an appearance in the Gold Cup Final in 2000. |

the British Universities 100 metre champion winning the title in 10.38 a

with injury although he did return to form part of the Clubs record
breaking 4x100 team. Also a talented 200 metre runner who has clocked
20.99. He has been a valuable member of the Clubs National League team.

cross country, road and track teams. While he is primarily a middle
distance athlete this has not stopped him from filling in when there
have been gaps in the field events. |
 |
David Moulton - (7/9/81) A talented 800
metre runner who made an impressive senior debut in the Gold Cup Final.

useful 400 metre runner. Currently studying at Bath University. |
