Isle of Man Athletics has announced a team of 24 for the Island Games in Orkney in July.
The team has an even split of 12 male and 12 female members, and in addition there will be a management team of three and a physiotherapist.
Included in the line up are two previous individual gold medallists, Regan Corrin (High Jump) and Corrin Leeming (Half Marathon).
Island Games
There are 11 Island Games debutants in the team, five of them in the Half Marathon, but the distance runners are very experienced athletes.
They include Isle of Man women’s Marathon record holder Christa Cain who could be running in three events in Orkney.
The Half Marathon teams are strong, as are the relay squads.
Georgia Price has previously enjoyed much success in her gymnastics career, but this will be her Island Games debut as an athlete.
