Vale lifetime member Jess Hunter has put her Commonwealth selection disappointment behind her by being selected as part of the Great Britain & Northern Ireland team for the multi-sport European Championships taking place in Munich between 11th – 21st August. Jess will be lining up alongside Cindy Sember in the team in what will be her first British senior vest.
Her training partner Marli Jessop (both coached by Scott Grace) has qualified for the World Junior Championships taking place in Cali, Columbia from 1st – 6th August. Marli is ranked 8th in the competition so she has a good chance of making the final.
Both athletes have had great seasons thus far and are being justly rewarded for their efforts. Coach Scott Grace must be very proud of his athletes and we wish them the best of luck in their competitions!
Both events will undoubtedly be streamed live across the globe so we have posted their racing times below should you want to tune in to cheer them on (all times are BST.)
