Weekend Track & Field Preview

The first outdoor championships of the year takes place this weekend as the UKA/EA Winter long throws championships is held at Loughborough University.

It being a National championship of course there are WADAC names amongst the starting lists and this holds particular significance for this event which is through invitation only.

In action today will be Charlie Elford-Pond (coach Jake Norris) who competes in the U20M hammer and Jess Howells (coach Andy Fisher) who competes in the U20W javelin. This year is an important one for the U20’s as the European U20 champs takes place later this year in Tampere, Finland and this presents a good opportunity to impress the GB selectors.

In action tomorrow will be Aspen Stobbart (coach Martin McBriar) in the U15G hammer and U15G discus and Aspen will be looking to extend her pb’s in both.

In indoor action tomorrow will be those taking part in the last of the WSEH Open Meeting series in Eton and I see Lexie Trott (coach Tom Farres) on the starting lists for Vault Cardiff
