LIBBY CLEGG ADDED TO WORLD PARA ATHLETICS EUROPEAN CHAMPS TEAM

British Athletics has accepted World Para Athletics’ invitation for Libby Clegg (coach: Joe McDonnell, coach: Charnwood) to compete in the T11 100m and 200m at the WPA European Championships in August.

This sees the British team rise to 53 members following Wednesday’s initial team announcement.

The double Paralympic champion from Rio 2016 will be guided by Tom Somers (Benke Blomkvist, Newham & Essex Beagles) after injury has ruled Chris Clarke out for the rest of the season.

Somers was a fourth placer at the 2013 IAAF World Youth Championships and seventh place finisher at the 2014 IAAF World Junior Championships, both over 200m. He trains in Loughborough at the National Performance Institute.

Stef Reid is confirmed for the T64 200m alongside her long jump, while Javaughan Parkes will additionally race in the T36 200m, alongside his 100m.
