Athletics Northern Ireland have been invited to enter a team into this event to compete against Scotland, Wales, Denmark, GB & NI Under 20 teams as well as a combined British Athletics League/ UK Women’ League team.

Athletics NI will use this event for competition experience and development of athletes who are on the pathway towards major championships success.

Director of Coaching and Athlete Development, Jackie Newton said “We are delighted to confirm selection of 30 athletes to compete for Northern Ireland & Ulster at the Manchester International on 15th of this month. The standard of performances from NI & Ulster athletes has been very high and competition for places on this team has been strong. Many of the team will be aiming to finish their season here with a top performance. It is great to see so many younger athletes making their senior debut on this team and I would like to congratulate Jai Benson, Brendan O’Donnell, Callum Crawford-Walker, Cormac O’Rourke, Adam Hughes, Niamh Malone, Ellie McCartney and Laura Frey on this achievement.”
