Vale Nicholas Hum

The Glenhuntly Athletics Club is deeply saddened by the passing of Hunter and friend Nicholas Hum.

Nick represented Australia at 3 paralympic games including Rio, Tokyo and Paris, and at 5 world para championships. Nick won the bronze medal at the Tokyo Paralympics.

Nick first join Glenhuntly in 2011 at 15 years of age with the potential to take his jumping career to the highest levels. He did just that and more under the initial guidance of Max Binnington, and then under the expert guidance of John Boas.

Nick was also a great advocate and leader for the Emerson School, heading up the Nicholas Hum Scholarship. Nick inspired the next generation of athletes from Emerson School to participate in athletics, take pride in their training and competition, and support others around them.

The Glenhuntly Athletics Club has been truly blessed to have had such a wonderful teammate, representative, and friend as part of our hunter community. He will be truly missed by all.

We share our deepest sympathies with his Family and Friends.

Rest in Peace Nick

1993-2025
