Biathletes to attend Turkey Uni Games

Biathletes to attend Turkey Uni Games

Three AUS university student biathletes are attending the prestigious University Games in Erzurum, Turkey, 27 Jan-6 Feb 2011

 

In early January 2011, as part of their preparation, Neil Burbidge, Hamish McLean and Giles Richardson will be meeting at Hotham/Whiskey Flat/Dinner Plain for a fortnight of altitude training, under guidance of Bob Cranage, Games Coach and Manager.

 

Neil Burbidge has just completed his third year of civil engineering. He is hoping to undertake 12 months of placement before returning to classes in 2012. McLean has just completed his Honours degree in Science and is about to start a double Masters (Commerce & International Business) at Sydney University, while Richardson has just completed his first year of Environmental Studies at the University of Ballarat.

 

Cranage was the first Australian to represent this country in biathlon overseas.
