It is in running that Hugo truly excels, aided by weekly athletics meetings in the summer term which see him compete for the school in the 800m, 1500m and 4x400m relay.
Hugo is also a British Championship medallist at épée (fencing is part of the full Pentathlon).
His Olympic hopes are very much alive.
