WHAT'S NEW? . DANIEL HOPING FOR GLORY AT 2012 PARALYMPICS!
New member, Daniel Frith proudly shows off his impressive haul of medals, including the one he gained at the UK School Games in September. The 17 year old who is autistic, epileptic and has learning disabilities won the silver medal in the 1500 metres track event at the Don Valley Stadium, Sheffield. Daniel put in 2 training sessions a week on the track with the club's over 15's squad during the summer and the good times he produced then certainly helped him on his way to being a medal winner. Head coach Stephen Wolstenholme says “Daniel is a really hard worker with an abundant of talent. He fit in really well with the rest of the athletes in the training group and is well liked”. Daniel is looking forward to a winter of cross country racing with the club in order to improve his fit and earn a place in the British team at the 2012 Paralympics. .
