Double Paralympic gold medallist Jonnie Peacock is set to compete in the 100m, alongside Ireland’s five-time Paralympic gold medallist, Jason Smyth.
Also in the Men’s 100m, Commonwealth Games bronze medallist Everton Clarke will feature. Boasting a personal best of 10.08, the Jamaican will be another one to watch as all eyes look towards Tokyo.
As preparations ramp up a gear ahead of next summer’s Olympic and Paralympic Games, º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ’s own Sophie Hahn will race in the 100m. Hahn is sure to be full of confidence after her last time out on the Paula Radcliffe track resulted in a new world record for the 22-year-old.
Following a strong performance at the Anniversary Games in London, sprinter Beth Dobbin will compete in both the 100m and 200m. After running a personal best of 22.50 in the capital, Dobbin will be looking to build on a strong start to the season on home soil.
In the field, spectators can expect a hard battle between Taylor Campbell and Chris Bennett in the Hammer, whilst GB’s top three javelin throwers will also compete.
Current º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ student Bekah Walton faces tough competition from Laura Whittingham and Emma Hamplett – both of whom have strong connections of their own to º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ as graduates of the University and college respectively.
The event is held at the Paula Radcliffe Athletics Centre on Tuesday 6 August, with gates open at 1pm.
Tickets details and further information are available on the º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ Sport website.
