JUST SEY THE WORD

FOURTEEN-year-old Marcia Sey has her sights set on hurdling for her country as early as next year.

The talented Millfield School and Croydon AC athlete has achieved all of her targets in 2016, winning English Schools and England Athletics titles. Such has been her form, the only occasion in which she has been beaten in her specialist event this summer was in the semi-final at the England Athletics Championships. However, Marcia held her nerve and bounced back to not only take the title, but also set a big 75m hurdles PB of 10.93 and move to sixth on the UK age group all-time rankings.
