Welsh Athletics Track and Field Selection Policy
Loughborough International
ENG v SCO v WAL v GB U20s v Lough Students v BUSA
18 May 2008
The Welsh Athletics team for the Loughborough International will consist of one athlete per event.
Selections will be made on Wednesday 7th May following the BUSA Championships by the Welsh Athletics Track & Field Team Selection Committee.1
This event is the major senior team international competition for Welsh Athletics; therefore Welsh Athletics will look to select the strongest team that is available.
Athletes who have achieved the International Selection Guidelines (ISG) and who have demonstrated consistent high-level form through 2007/2008 will be given serious consideration.
The selection process will prioritise athletes who:
1) Have achieved the International Selection Guidelines (ISG) in 2007/2008* and have demonstrated consistent high-level form through 2007/2008 2
2) Can demonstrate the use of the Loughborough International as preparation for Major International Competitions that year
3) Are developing towards achieving the International Selection guidelines and contributing to Welsh Athletics and Great Britain International Representation. 3
*Achievement of the Welsh Athletics International Selection Guidelines does not guarantee selection.
The qualification period to achieve the ISG will be from January 1st 2007 to May 6th 2008.
The selection policy will not seek to fill places simply because a guideline has been achieved. The selection of junior athletes by the Track and Field Selection Committee will be given serious consideration with regard to the development of the individual athlete.
Selected Athletes will be informed by letter no later than May 10th 2008.

– Athletes developing towards achieving the International Selection guidelines and contributing to Welsh Athletics and Great Britain International Representation
Athletes who have not achieved the International Selection Guidelines may be considered for International Selection if they demonstrate they are upwardly mobile in performance terms and will potentially contribute to Welsh Athletics & Great Britain International Competitions in the future.
This policy and guidelines have been produced by the T & F International Competition Review Group.
Thanks to James Thomas for compiling this information on behalf of the group.
