Former Knox athlete (Rowville club) Rhydian Cowley has recently returned from Cheboksary, Russia, where he was part of the Australian team selected by Athletics Australia to compete in the World Walking Cup. The World Walking Cup is the World Championship of road racewalking.

 

He competed in the Junior mens 10km event. This is a race for U 20 men. As a just-turned-17 year old, he was one of the youngest competitors, competing against mainly 19 year olds.

 

He came 39th out of 67 entrants from all around the world.

 

Rhydian's team mates in the senior section included world champion and world record holder Nathan Deakes, Jarad Tallent and the lady who was almost the 2000 Sydney Olympic Champion, Jane Saville.
