Great Scott is off to the Olympics
3:50pm Wednesday 23rd July 2008
Hurdler Allan Scott has become the ninth Shaftesbury Barnet athlete to secure a place at the Beijing Olympics next month.
Scott will compete for Britain in the 110m hurdles.
Eight Barnet athletes had already secured their places via the first wave of selections.
It means the Copthall-based Harriers will have more athletes in China than any other British club.
Also on the plane are Larry Achike (triple jump), Lee McConnell (400m and 4x400m relay), Marilyn Okoro (800m), Tasha Danvers (400m hurdles), Emma Ania (4x100m relay), Greg Rutherford (long jump), Trecia Smith (triple jump) and Yamille Aldama (triple jump).
