Sad to Announce the Death of Mike Critchley

Mike Critchley, one of the outstanding group of middle distance runners produced by Cardiff AAC soon after their formation in 1968, has died.

He was a regular member of the all-conquering Cardiff team which won virtually all of the Welsh team prizes in the late 1960s and early 70s as well as being a leading member of Cardiff’s record breaking British League team between 1972 and 1974.

He developed into a fine marathon runner and ran in the 1978 Commonwealth Games.
