Ben was an outstanding junior athlete, winning the Youth Olympics (2014), finishing third in the World Junior Triathlon Championships (2016+2017) and winning the London Marathon mini Marathon (2015) in record time. A Loughborough University graduate (Sports Technology), Ben combined his studying and training, regularly podiuming with the highlight being Gold at the U23 European Championships. The last couple of years have been disrupted by injury and not helped by COVID, but his return to the podium is imminent.
