ATHLETICS Bath-based Sibbons heading to Games

Sprinter Aleeya Sibbons has become the latest University of Bath-based athlete to be officially selected for the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games.

Sibbons, coached by Colin Bovell, has been named in the Team England women’s 4x100m relay squad along with Amy Hunt, Imani-Lara Lansiquot, Daryll Neita and Dina Asher-Smith.

It will be a first major championship for former sporting scholar Sibbons, who first began training at the University when she started an Architecture degree course in 2021. She graduated last summer but has continued to train full-time at the Team Bath Sports Training Village.

She is the second track and field athlete from Team Bath to be picked for Glasgow 2026 following Biochemistry student Justin Davies’s selection in the Team Wales squad.

Also selected in the Team England squad is Jazmin Sawyers, who was training at Team Bath when she won long jump silver the last time Glasgow hosted the Games in 2014.

This year’s Games will run from July 23 to August2, with Davies starting his 800m campaign on Tuesday July 28 and the women’s 4x100m relay taking place on Saturday August 1.
