The son of Jim and Becky Dilks, and grandson of Roy and Julie Young of Tenby, Archie - a local mackerel boat skipper - has come a long way since his first ever triathlon in 2018 at Saundersfoot.

Coached by local athlete Oli Simon, Archie has improved drastically year on year and is set to have a brilliant career in triathlon.
