OWLS AC Leicester
The Owls Athletics Club Leicester is one of three leading athletics clubs in Leicestershire, UK. It has gained many regional and national accolades with some individual athletes representing England and Great Britain at junior and senior level. Primarily a running club, the men's team have won every Leicestershire Senior County Cross Country team title since 1995. The club is also known for developing its junior athletes and its distinctive vests (bearing black and white stripes).
==History==
The club began as 'Oadby and Wigston Legionnaires' (acronym OWLS) at the Royal British Legion in Wigston in 1981. As it expanded, two sections formed to cater for differing competitive aspirations. A social running club at the original base in Wigston; and a multi-disciplinary athletics club for junior and senior athletes based at Saffron Lane sports centre in Leicester. The two sections made a complete split in 2008 when the Wigston-based section became "Wigston Phoenix" Running Club, and the Leicester-based section adopting the name Owls AC Leicester.
Originally, the club was founded by a trio of Mick Strange, Phil Hands Geoff Matthews with the aim to compete against other Leicestershire-based clubs. At a later date, Wayne Walker was recruited as coach for a newly formed junior section and led them to many outstanding successes. After over 25 years service to the club he remains the head coach. After a long initial journey the club began to enjoy its first successes under Wayne's tutelage; with subsequent teams and individuals winning many regional and national competitions ranging from track and field to fell running and cross country.
