Michael McCready

Michael McCready attended Harrow School before going to Christ Church College, Oxford, where he became a member of the University Fencing Club and, in 1936, won his fencing Blue. The previous year, McCready won the Universities Athletic Union Epée Championship. Prior to World War II, he was selected for the 1939 World Championships, scheduled to be held at Merano, Italy between 1-14 September, but they were cancelled due to the outbreak of the War on what would have been the opening day of the competition. After the hostilities, McCready competed at the 1948 London Olympics. He later fenced for the Lansdowne Club.
