At the end of August Sam was parachuted into the East Midlands team for the UK School Games Finals held at Loughborough University and Derby Arena. Another rider was unwell and so at the last minute Sam was called up. He raced in the Match Sprint, finishing 9th; Team Pursuit, winning Bronze, and Team Sprint where they took silver. Overall the East Midlands won Bronze meaning he came away with a nice haul of medals.

To cap off a great summer he’s also just had confirmation of his selection as a GB Cycling Team NSR Foundation Rider for 2024/25. Needless to say he’s really looking forward to his induction in mid-October and has a very tough, but exciting year ahead.
