Swiss sportswear brand On has announced a new official partnership with four Australian athletes:
- Imogen Barrett, a middle-distance runner from Brisbane;
- Zach Facioni, a 5000m runner from Sydney;
- Jesse Hunt, a runner from Perth; and
- Ed Trippas, a steeplechaser from Sydney who represented Australia at the Olympic Games in Tokyo.
They will bolster the brand’s OAC Oceania team in Melbourne. On Athletics Club (OAC) Oceania consists of nine athletes from Australia who aim to redefine the next generation of running. Based in Melbourne, OAC Oceania is led by four-time Olympian and former long and middle-distance runner Craig Mottram. Under his guidance, the four new athletes will take the next step in their careers as professional athletes after the end of their NCAA eligibility in the U.S.
