Great Britain & Northern Ireland will send 32 athletes to the World Athletics Relays Bahamas 24 on 4-5 May.
Great Britain secured medals in four of the five relay disciplines at last year’s World Championships in Budapest, so they will be hopeful of another successful outing in Nassau as they aim to earn qualifying places for the Paris Olympic Games.
“The performances in Budapest last summer were fantastic but we know each year the other nations are working harder and harder on their relay programmes,” said UKA Olympic Head Coach Paula Dunn. “We cannot take anything for granted and we are going there with a clear aim to put us on the road to Paris.”
