Dual javelin gold medallist Lucy Boggis will bid to complete a treble for Oxfordshire when she competes in the 100m hurdles at next month's English Schools Track & Field Championships.
The 17-year-old, from Abingdon & Witney College, is to tackle the track event at Gateshead Stadium over the weekend of July 7/8 rather than the field discipline as she has been running well recently.
She heads Oxfordshire's 25-strong team, which is missing Carolyn Plateau and Tara Kafke, who have both struck gold before, and Claire Triggs, a silver medallist of two years ago. The trio are all injured.
Oxon will be looking for bold shows in the senior boys' competition from team captain Ed Womersley, in the 2000m steeplechase, and Jonny Lodowski, in the 400m hurdles.
Womersley (St Edward's Oxford) showed he is in good form with victory at the Midland Championships at Birmingham last weekend.
Running for Stroud in the under 20 men's 2000m steeplechase, he claimed victory in 6mins 5.56secs.
Lodowski, meanwhile, was third in the under 20 men's 400m hurdles at the South Of England Championships at Crystal Palace in 54.59.
