Patrick Martin, a Stawell Gift finalist, has a new challenge. He aims to achieve back-to-back Victorian Relay Championships wins for Ballarat and represent Australia over 400m.
Martin is part of a strong group of 400m specialists in the city, including two-time national champion Cooper Sherman, Stuart Aberdein, Hudson Downes, and Elijah Cross.
A chance of one day donning the winner's sash for the classic 110m at the Stawell Gift will always be in the back of his mind.
Autor's resume: Martin chases his dream.
