SIGNING the season off in style, Britain’s leading under-17s gathered for the 11th annual edition of this event.
Featuring an Olympic-style programme of events over four days, athletes from several sports get to feel what it would be like to live in the village before their competition – an experience from which the likes of Dina Asher-Smith, Daryll Neita, Emily Diamond and Rio hammer bronze medallist Sophie Hitchon have all benefitted in the past.
“It’s been great,” said the South West’s Anna Burt, who broke the 800m championships best by nearly two seconds with 2:07.58. “I’ve been to see other sports and it’s been really good meeting all sorts of athletes.”
