British Athletics Champion delivers virtual masterclass

On 24 August 2019, former Oaklands Wolves Athletics Academy star Ojie Edoburun took the country by storm, edging a strong field including Adam Gemili and Zharnel Hughes to claim the 100m gold at the 2019 Müller British Athletics Championships. 

A close-contact of the Athletics Academy, having coached with current Head; Ryan Freckleton, Ojie repaid his gratitude to the academy by joining a virtual development session with this year’s student athletes as well as new and potential 2020 recruits.
