James moved from Winchester to Cardiff for University and has massively enjoyed being a part of the TeamThie training group. As a junior he enjoyed racing over the cross country and track at a county level but since moving to Cardiff he has been able to compete at a much higher level. In the Summer of 2018, he began being coached by James and has run PBs of 1:53 in the 800, 3:49 in the 1500 and 14:49 in the 5000.
The 2019-2020 winter season was by far his best over cross country and his first indoor season. Highlights included 27th at BUCS cross country, winning the 800m indoor Welsh championships, second place at BUCS 1500 and 4th place at the British indoors 1500 championships. He greatly enjoyed the start of 2020 and looks forward to focusing on athletics more over the next few years.
