Trackspeed1 will have all eyes on Sheffield this weekend with three of its most talented stars in action in the European Championship trials, to be held in the English Institute of Sport venue in Yorkshire.
James Ellington will lead the squad's line-up as a classic fly in the ointment for the normal sprint stars, after his superb second place in the Lee Valley London games final a couple of weeks ago. After his victory over the likes of Harry Akinees Arietee and Craig Pickering he will be confident of a really positive performance in Sheffield.
Jason Hussain has been showing some very encouraging repetitions in training recvently which suggests that he could spring a surprise int he 200m, while training colleague Lawrence Wooldridge has been running so well, this comparative unknown on the national scene could make a name for himself.
Trackspeed1's Matthew Threadgold would have competed in the 400m, after a fantastic pb of 48.50 midweek over 400m, but he has decided to prioritise the British Universities Championships next week. And Dwayne Grant would have been a further competitor had it not been for a groin strain that has forced him to shelve his indoor season.
"I've never been so positive over an indoor season," said Trackspeed1 coach John Powell. "Our guys are in serious form and could really turn heads this weekend. It's a pity the likes of Dwayne and Matt aren;'t going to be here, but that's life, and it all points toward a really super summer season."
