Target Tokyo recipient Erika Kelly has been selected to represent Great Britain at next month’s European Race Walking Cup in Lithuania.

The Northern AC member will pick up her first senior GB vest in the women’s 20km race at Alytus on Sunday, May 19.

Posting about her selection on social media, Erika said: ’Words can’t describe how very, very happy I am right now. The hard work day in, day out is paying off and this has been one of my main aims since day one.’

Kelly will become the second Manx athlete to represent Team GB this year after Joe Reid made his senior international British debut at the European Indoor Championships in Glasgow in March.
