Connor Bowen 4x400m relay, lead-off leg
4×100m Leg
2nd
4×400m Leg
Lead-off & Anchor

Connor is trusted in high-pressure relay environments where composure, competitiveness and race execution matter. He regularly runs the 2nd leg in the 4×100m, and in the 4×400m runs both the lead-off leg — setting the tone from the gun — and the anchor leg, including comeback performances when receiving the baton behind.
