Loughborough International 2022

Scotland will compete in track and field action at the Loughborough International later this month.

This year’s event marks the return of spectators to the Paula Radcliffe Stadium and takes place on Sunday 22 May.

And Scotland will head into the event with a team full of both youthful talent and more experienced athletes who have enjoyed success at Loughborough in the past.

The format of the Loughborough International for 2022 features five teams – with Scotland joined by England, Wales, GB and NI U20s and a select from the hosts, Loughborough University.

We offer our warm congratulations to all the athletes listed below to selected to compete for Scotland at Loughborough and also to their families and coaches. We say well done, also, to the clubs involved in their development over many years.

As in the past, Scottish athletes could feature for GB and NI U20s and indeed Loughborough as well as representing Scotland.

Another factor that weekend is the Diamond League meet at the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham on Saturday 21 May with the start-lists already featuring the likes of Laura Muir, Jemma Reekie, Josh Kerr and Jenny Selman.

We are pleased to confirm that Scotland sprint relay teams will compete at the Diamond League with a number of those athletes then involved the following day at Loughborough.

*Unfortunately, we will not be able to offer a full team U20 opportunity this summer season in track and field.

The Manchester International, which has been used in recent seasons in mid-August, has been cancelled for 2022 and a potential alternative U20 International event in Wales is now not appropriate due to its proximity with the England U20 Championships in Bedford.

The Welsh event is now proposed for July 13 – immediately prior to the event in Bedford (July 16/17).

scottishathletics will continue to explore potential solutions for this summer – which may be event group in nature – and communicate this with the sport as these are confirmed.
