Having worked with Canterbury athletes Matthew Stonier and Alex Millard in their younger days, Invicta East Kent AC coach Peter Mullervy is thrilled to see them beginning to realise their potential.
Both middle-distance runners enjoyed fine 2022 seasons. Sturry’s Stonier completed a rapid rise to compete at a home Commonwealth Games and also earned a fifth-placed European Athletics Championships finish in Germany.
Millard impressed last year, too, winning a bronze for Great Britain in the under-23 race at the SPAR European Cross-Country Championships in Italy.
She has already been victorious at this year’s BUCS Cross-Country Championships at Pembrey. Millard also helped the senior Great Britain and Northern Ireland team earn a sixth-placed finish in the mixed relay event at the World Cross-Country Championships in Bathurst, Australia.
