The prize of international representation will await many, for others, it is about experiencing high-level competition in a high-performance environment for the first time. We expect many personal bests to be set, but also new friendships forged, and personal goals achieved as our young athletes looking to move up in performance levels. Winners of events this weekend will be automatic choices for the SIAB event in late September.
The final selection will take place on Wednesday, September 8th. for the 2021 SIAB Track & Field which this year is hosted by English Schools and is at Moreton Stadium, Derby on Saturday, September 25th. The second discretionary places going on performances on Power of 10 rankings by September 8th. This allows plenty of time for those having late starts to their seasons due to the assessment demands of GCSE grades to post performances and put themselves “in the frame”.
"Good luck to all those taking part this weekend!"
