“I am so happy!” Bath sporting scholar Aleeya Sibbons anchors British quartet to bronze at World Athletics Relays Bahamas 24
University of Bath sporting scholar Aleeya Sibbons anchored Great Britain & Northern Ireland to a brilliant bronze in the women’s 4x100m at the World Athletics Relays Bahamas 24.
The Architecture student produced a storming last leg to bring the quartet – also featuring Alyson Bell, Amy Hunt and Bianca Williams – home in third in 42.80 behind the United States and France.
Hunt, Williams, Asha Philip and Imani-Lara Lansiquot had secured Britain’s qualification for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games by winning their heat the previous day and Sibbons will hope her performance in Sunday’s final will put her in the mix for selection this summer.

“I am so happy, it has been such a great experience racing with everyone,” said Sibbons, who is supported in her dual athletics and academic careers by a Santander Sporting Scholarship.
“It was anyone’s selection [for the final] but I am so glad I did get selected and got to experience what it is like to compete out here with some of the members of the team. I am really excited for what is to come. If we can do this here, God knows what we can achieve in Paris.”
