SESEMANN CALLED-UP TO EUROPEAN INDOORS AS MARC SCOTT WITHDRAWS

British Athletics can confirm Philip Sesemann (coach: Andrew Henderson; club: Leeds City) has been added to the British team for the 2021 European Athletics Indoor Championships following the withdrawal of Marc Scott from the men’s 3000m.

Marc Scott, who earned a PB and Olympic standard with a time of 27:10.41 over the 10,000m recently has made the decision not to travel to Torun and instead will focus on his recovery ahead of race opportunities in the USA in the coming weeks.

He will be replaced in the squad by Philip Sesemann who set a personal best of 7:51.27 over 3000m in Manchester earlier in the month.

The Leeds City athlete was part of the mixed relay team at the 2018 European Cross Country Championships and this is his first call-up to a senior British team on the track.
