Also nominated, Ososlo at the 2017 24 hour championships in Belfast.

Soz TBL, I'm sure you fit into the same category of praise

Swashbuckler

Well done all. Well deserved. Arianas positivity was contagious in the Novices thread. HBS is a shoe in for the same award next year when he runs 1.23 in Charleville.

😂 No bother RQ, if I won this I'd have been mortified.

Also not much quality running on my log so I was surprised to win but thanks to everyone who voted for me.
