The Society wishes Conor Hall very best wishes and congratulations for his selction and participation in the Olympic Games 2024 in Paris. Conor left the college in started archery in his first year of secondary school in 2007. He had done archery a few times prior to starting Campbell College and really enjoyed it, so when he found out there was an archery club he signed up straight away and has never looked back. The Belfast-born archer now lives in Burton-on-Trent, working as a Security Engineer.
Conor’s biggest achievement in archery to date is becoming the first ever European Field archery mixed team champion along with Bryony Pitman in the 2021 European Field Championships in Croatia. In 2023, he became the British Target Champion, and for this year he hopes to compete at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
So far in 2024, along with his teammates, Alex Wise and Tom Hall, he won the men's team gold medal at the Veronica's Cup tournament, and silver at the Spring Arrows Archery tournament. In Antalya for the Final Olympic Qualifying Tournament, the three men shot and won the bronze, securing their team spot for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. He and Bryony Pitman also won the recurve mixed team silver medal at the European Championships.
Conor is the 9th OC to achieve Olympic status, the first being Campbell Robb (170) in London, 1908 for athletics.
Good luck Conor!
