DAVID BARNETT has been one of the best-known faces in British athletics for more than 30 years.
He was a good runner in the 1970s when finishing sixth in the English Schools junior boys’ 800m. He had a best of 1:54.1 at the age of 17. However, it was for organising travel to the major athletics events that Barnett made his mark.
To celebrate Track and Field Tours’ 25th anniversary at England Athletics’ Hall of Fame Dinner, Barnett awarded a club group prize package with tickets and accommodation to Stockport Harriers for 25 club members (20 to be under-16) to attend the 2017 World Championships.
Barnett said: “A lot has been said about inspiring the next generation, not just to be good athletes, but to hopefully go on to become club officials, team managers and volunteers, so we decided to offer our award as our contribution towards this goal. “If just one youngster is dazzled as I was at such an impressionable age to make the sport a lifetime activity then that would be perfect.”
