The World Junior medallist from 2018, and 2020 BUCS 60m Champion, has only raced over the 400m once, but his 45.84 from last year’s º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ August Invitational was good enough to see him ranked 3rd in the UK for the year.
Dobson will be joined by a strong º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ alumni presence on the team, including Martyn Rooney (Nick Dakin), Amy Allcock (Glyn Hawkes), Emily Diamond (Blomkvist), Jessie Knight (Marina Armstrong) and Jess Turner (Dakin).
Femi Akinsanya, º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ’s Director of Athletics, commented:
“Congratulations to Charlie and his coach Benke for receiving Charlie’s first Senior International call up. To be surrounded by so many familiar º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ faces will make the experience even better. It is the perfect start to an Olympic year, and we wish the whole team the best of luck.”
