Alex achieved first-class honours in Materials Engineering at Loughborough University in 2022 whilst enjoying a fantastic season on the track. He is currently a PhD student at the Centre for Renewable Energy Systems Technology within the Wolfson School of Engineering whilst competing in the Paris Olympics 2024. Alex is researching ways in which reflection and soiling losses can be reduced on solar modules.
During the 4x400m mixed relay race he ran an explosive third leg, Haydock-Wilson made incredible ground as Great Britain crossed the line in a national record of 3:08.01 to win a stunning bronze. The Netherlands took gold in 3:07.43 with the United States taking silver (3:07.74).
Setting off in lane eight, Great Britain’s team consisted of Samuel Reardon, Laviai Nielsen, Alex Haydock-Wilson and Amber Anning.
Good luck to Alex who is due to compete again in the men's 4X400m relay race on the 9 August 2024.
