As mentioned by Grassmarket in the UK Outdoor Results thread for June, the Great Britain team selection for the upcoming Euro U18s was finalized yesterday and published this morning. I thought it would be worthy enough of having it's own dedicated thread for discussion about the athletes who are going to Israel in just over a fortnight's time, some of whom we hope in the coming years will become future regulars, if not stars, in the sport in the UK.

[Occasional Hope]

Does anyone know if it will be streamed anywhere?

[RunUnlimited]

Occasional Hope As Grassmarket stated in his comment that I quoted, usually Eurovisionsports stream the event, and that's on behalf of the European Athletics website.

[Occasional Hope]

Thanks - I obviously didn't read closely enough

[Runner88]

Great team there with a lot of athletes in the top 3 as it stands in their event. Obviously more could have been selected but the quota prevents that.

[CAML]

You have to be wary with an athlete of 17, but I do think Mia McIntosh is a special talent. I can see her mixing it with the Jamaicans and Americans in Cali, and she'll still be a junior for the next champs in 2024.

[RunUnlimited]

After seeing her run for the first time during the age group indoor championships earlier this year, I personally earmarked Mia as someone to look out for in the summer. And so far she has exceeded what I had thought she was capable of outdoors. I certainly wasn't expecting her to take down Lucy Jane Matthews U17 record the way she did last weekend.

An exciting prospect.
