In the championships there were six athletes selected from each of the 12 regions through the whole of the UK (including Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland). This meant that all the top athletes in the country were present to compete in this event, 72 athletes in the championship event mixed with an additional 118 athletes representing London Boroughs.
