England Athletics Head of Competitions Andy Day said, “Championships racing is an important part of an athlete’s development and we would encourage all athletes to make the most of the championships opportunities given to them. In offering the winners of each of the Area Under 20 championships in the available events the opportunity to represent England we are recognising the achievements of the athletes as well as the importance of the Area championships this summer.
“We hope the athletes will then enjoy competing for their country and that they and their coaches will also be able to learn from the experience of the Welsh International as they continue to develop.”
