A host of World U20 Championship and European U18 Championship medallists will head the British teams competing in the Berlin U20 Match on Sunday, 5 August, and Manchester International on Wednesday, 15 August.
\
European Under-18 Championship gold medallist over 3000m Thomas Keen (coach: Mark Vile, club: Cambridge & Coleridge) will headline the British junior team for the Berlin U20 Match on Sunday.
\
The Match, which takes place ahead of the European Championships getting underway in the German capital on Monday, 6 August, sees Great Britain & Northern Ireland take on France and Germany in ten events.
\
After taking gold in Gyor, Hungary, last month, Keen will compete internationally once again, this time in the men’s 1500m.
\
He will be joined in Germany by World U20 Championship 110m hurdles finalist Jason Nicholson (Janice Kaufman, Gateshead Harriers) and European U18 fifth placer in the pole vault, Jade Spencer-Smith (Ellie Spain, Harrow) will also make the trip to the German capital.
\
British Athletics Championship bronze medallist in the javelin Bethan Rees (Mike Pinner, Cannock & Stafford) will join fellow British U20 leaders Isabella Hilditch (100m hurdles, John Blackie, Blackheath & Bromley), Lauren Williams (400m hurdles, Wynford Leyshon, Swansea) and Daniel James Thomas (shot put, Judy Oakes, Eastbourne) in the team.
\
World U20 Championship gold medallist and British junior record holder in the men’s hammer Jake Norris (coach: Paul Dickenson, club: Windsor Slough Eton & Hounslow) and U18 world leaders Max Burgin (800m, Brian Burgin, Halifax) and Dominic Ogbechie (high jump, Marius Guei / Carol Jackson, Highgate Harriers) head the British Junior team for Manchester International on Wednesday, 15 August.
\
Burgin broke the British U18 record as he claimed gold in Gyor in 1:47.36, while Ogbechie, who also claimed gold in Hungary, is just one centimetre shy of equalling the British U18 record, his personal best is currently 2.22m. Fellow Gyor champion over 800m Keely Hodgkinson (Margaret Galvin, Leigh) will take to the track in Manchester for the first time since winning gold.
\
Norris will hope to add the world lead to his British record and gold medal in Tampere, Finland, in Manchester. He is second in the world rankings with a best of 80.65m, with the current world leading mark at 81.32m.
\
Double World U20 medallist in the women’s 100m and 4x100m Kristal Awuah (Matthew Thomas, Herne Hill Harriers) runs in the individual event in Manchester, while fellow 4x100m medallist Vera Chinedu (Ryan Freckleton, Cambridge), heads the relay team.
