O'Hare & Wade join Flynn Sports
World Championship 1,500-meter finalist Chris O'Hare and marathoner Becky Wade headline the latest additions to Flynn Sports Management. 

O'Hare recently finished 50th at the NCAA Cross-Country National Championship in Terre Haute after a long summer of competition on the track. He surprised many at the IAAF World Championships in Moscow by defeating the likes of New Zealander Nick Willis and Americans Lopez Lomong and Leo Manzano in the semifinals of the 1,500-meter run and securing a spot in the final. He placed 12th in the final. 

In 2014, O'Hare will compete for Scotland at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. A shoe contract before then would not be surprising after his 2013 campaign bolstered his popularity in the United Kingdom.

UK Athletics announced a new seven-year deal with Nike in September as its new official kit supplier. Nike also sponsors British stars Mo Farah, Jessica Judd and Adam Gemili. Adidas sponsors Christine Ohuruoghu and Jessica Ennis-Hill

A Rice university graduate and legal assistant took the California International Marathon by surprise crossing the finish line in 2:30:41. Becky Wade accomplished the feat in her marathon debut wearing a Houston Harriers singlet. Her win made her the fifth fastest American woman in 2013.

After competing the 10,000-meter and steeplechase in college, Wade may be among the future stars of United States marathoning.

Wade has a great personality as well, which is evident through her blog where she shares stories from her post-graduate travels around the world for her fellowship. Over 12 months, Wade visited 22 countries and logged over 3,500 miles.
