The whole school has been watching it's just phenomenal, we're just so proud. This is a once in a lifetime. We feel very privileged to know Alex and to follow his career has been incredible.
A couple of seconds or a second is a big thing to make up. To make up on that amount of distance and then to keep going and lead by that distance is just mindblowing. (We felt) humbled to be able to witness something like that and realise we know such an amazing athlete.
We used to do it so that the staff would pace the children all the way through - until we met Alex. He just kept running and running and running and outpaced the member of staff running with him.
Alex has always been and continues to be an amazing role model for other young athletes and students. I don't believe he was ever naughty. He was quiet, he was polite. He is so calm, measured, in control of himself.
