CONGRATULATIONS to Bristol & West AC athlete Sophie Hamilton on being selected for international hours next weekend.
The javelin thrower, who is coached by Ken Holmes, has been named in the Great Britain Under 20 team for the Loughborough International on Sunday.
Hamilton is currently top of the UK Rankings for under 20 women after throwing 47.12m at Liverpool last month while last weekend representing the club at the National Athletics League she finished a fine second against senior opposition.
Hamilton is one of four West Country athletes named in the GB squad.
Yate & District AC’s Owen Merrett, who is coached by former B&W thrower Matt Spicer, will contest the hammer while Team Bath’s Justin Davies will race the 1500m.
Finally Exeter Harriers’ Johnny Livingstone has been selected for the 3000m.
