Following last weekend’s successful County championships where twelve Championships Best Performances were set and it looks like 39 English Schools Standards were achieved, it is back to League athletics this weekend and the Loughborough International meeting.
The Loughborough match is on Sunday and Sussex have two athletes in the GB Junior team as well as several athletes in invitation events.
Twice last year Brighton & Hove’s Amber Anning had to decline invitations for the junior squad but on Sunday she will be racing over 200 metres and competing in the sprint relay team.
Scott Staples (Crawley) who has been throwing the javelin extremely well this season and heads the British U20 Rankings will be aiming to maintain his form and maybe break the Sussex record again.
Both these athletes were among the records breakers at last weekend’s championships.
