Megan Thompson of Holmwood is the top athlete<br />

in this event. She easily won the event at the Central<br />

Championships and should repeat that performance<br />

at the Girls’ Championships. The Edwin Allen pair of<br />

Jeima Davis and Kayan Green is her main rival. Davis<br />

won the silver medal last year, while Kayan Green<br />

won this event at the Youngster Goldsmith meet. Both<br />

athletes will mount a serious challenge for the gold<br />

medal if selected for the event. Monifa Green is the<br />

2015 silver medallist but may not be entered in this<br />

event.<br />
