First GB senior chance for Cameron Chalmers as University of Bath athletes get Euro Team call
University of Bath sporting scholar Cameron Chalmers has earned his first senior British Athletics selection for this month’s European Athletics Team Championships in Lille Metropole, France.
The Sports Performance student, supported by a Thompson Education Trust Scholarship, is joined in the squad by fellow University-based athletes Emily Diamond and Eilidh Doyle.
Cameron, coached by James Hillier, has been selected in the men’s 4x400m squad along with Delano Williams, Rabah Yousif, Jarryd Dunn and Matthew Hudson-Smith after an excellent season in which he has already broken a 17-year-old BUCS Outdoor Athletics Championship 400m record.
Rio 2016 Olympic bronze-medallists Diamond and Doyle are both in the women’s 4x400m squad along with University graduate Kirsten McAslan. Doyle will also contest her speciality 400m hurdles event.
Sports Performance graduate Danny Talbot will race in the men’s 4x100m relay, while former Team Bath-based athletes Jack Green and Jazmin Sawyers will compete in the 400m hurdles and long jump respectively.
The European Team Championships will take place from June 23-25.
