The ladies who are looking to excel at the Alexander Stadium

	DINA ASHER-SMITH Age: 22 (04/12/95) Event: 100m, 200m, 4x100m Coach: John Blackie BROKE the British 100m and 200m records in 2015 and went on to win the European 200m title the following year before claiming Olympic 4x100m bronze and a 200m fifth place in Rio. Despite breaking her foot earlier in the year, she finished fourth in the world 200m final and secured relay silver in London before then claiming Commonwealth 200m bronze as well as 4x100m gold on the Gold Coast.
LAURA MUIR Age: 25 (09/05/93) Event: 1500m, 5000m Coach: Andy Young THE British 1500m record-holder gained double gold at the 2017 European indoor championships and added two world indoor medals to her haul in Birmingham in March. At the global event outdoors in London she placed fourth in the 1500m and sixth in the 5000m. Having recently completed her veterinary studies, she’s focused on athletics this summer
	KATARINA JOHNSON-THOMPSON Age: 25 (09/01/93) Event: Heptathlon Coach: Bertrand Valcin CLAIMED her first senior global title by winning the pentathlon at the world indoor championships in Birmingham and followed that up by taking Commonwealth heptathlon gold in Australia just six weeks later. The multi-events talent also finished fifth at the world championships in London in both the heptathlon and high jump and placed sixth in the seven-discipline event in Rio.
MORGAN LAKE Age: 21 (12/05/97) Event: High jump Coach: Fuzz Caan SECURED double success at the 2014 world under-20 championships in Oregon, winning both the heptathlon and the high jump, and has since switched her focus to the single discipline, although admits she’d like to give the heptathlon “one last shot” sometime in the future. Her single focus seems to be working as she secured high jump silver at the Commonwealth Games in Australia.
