Over the years we have been well represented by a number of elite athletes, more recently including John Nuttall, Steve Tunstall, Helen Clitheroe and Steve Smith who have all won National titles and represented Great Britain at major games. This year Steve Smith won gold in the V45 category at the world 1500m indoor championships in Austria and Helen Clitheroe placed 4th in the women's 1500m final at the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne.
