Nathaniel was SOSUNS only representative in the athletics and he did a great job. 

Nathaniel loved the atmosphere of athletes focused on competition but still ready to be friendly and have fun.  He had a fantastic time, meeting up with old friends and making loads of new ones as well.

Nathaniel won bronze in the long jump and 4×100m relay and came 4th in 100m and 200m.

A highlight for Nathaniel was the closing ceremony where he enjoyed dancing in front of the band.  Patting the beautiful white police horses was also a highlight for Nathaniel.
