Connor Morgan #
At STC, Connor arrived with a splash, well a few splashes during his water boarding. He subsequently drew on this mental training to thrive in Fresher’s 5k, crowning himself as the fastest fresher.
As a mathmo, it would be expected that Connor would obsess meticulously over splits and present them to his 169 eager strava followers. However, Connor bridges out from the stereotypes of his course, laying low on the chopper scale, leaving the majority of runs private. This may be the source of POD’s apathy towards Connor, as it has been overheard that Phil instructed him to rain in his expectations for the recent Battersea 5k. His mentality towards the race managed to stay unwavering despite these cutting comments, delivering an eyewatering 15:01 performance around the running mecca.
Another problem POD may have with Connor is his breaking of the golden rule. His breaking of this rule has been anything but camouflaged, beginning with a series of drunk communications at fresher’s bar crawl, shortly followed by a fire boy and water girl couples costume at Hallowevs.
Connor is also a student of the sport with performances recorded as early as the tender age of ten. In these days, Connor was keen for any event that would take him, boasting a 2.25m long jump (later improved to a pb of 2.46m) and a 13.4 second 75, which was unfortunately only good enough for 22nd at the fiercely competitive Oxford City AC Quadkids.
With this rich history of sporting excellence, I personally am giddy to see how Connor performs this year on the track and even more so at the post-race socials, as he now has the option to plan them, rather than crumble a third of the way through like he did in the chunder mile.
Alex Mulvihill #
Alex joined as a promising young fresher with some excellent PBs and celebrity (jack gray) endorsement. Unfortunately, he has so far finished just one race for the hareys having been hit with continuous injuries and illnesses for the entire first two terms. Fingers crossed he manages to stay healthy going forward and we can look forward to some more flycarb approved performances.
On the social side few have attended as many socials this year as alex. With an impressive record of more socials than sessions (it’s not close), he should have plenty of ideas on what to provide for next years social calendar. He is a big supporter of fresher ‘challenges’ and sof track beast so feel free to reach out if you want to know her injury status.
Alex is someone who knows how to make socials a lot of fun and I can’t wait to see what he brings next year.
