ADAM Hickey will be gunning to qualify for his third European Cross-Country Championships this weekend.
The 27-year-old Southend AC athlete will be at Liverpool’s Sefton Park tomorrow looking to finish in the top four of the senior men’s race to guarantee his spot in the Great Britain team heading to Heyeres in France for the European Championships.
Six athletes will be selected, with the first four in the race getting automatic qualification with the other two spots left to the selectors’ discretion.
Hickey finished ninth at last year’s championships in Bulgaria.
Jessica Judd will also be looking to make the team in the under-23 women’s race.
The Canvey 20-year-old, who is currently studying at Loughborough University, won a silver medal at last year’s championships in the under-20 category.
Jessica's sister Jodie will be racing in the under-17 women's race in Liverpool while Thurrock Harriers' Gemma Holloway is part of the under-20 women's field.
Basildon AC's Gemma Kersey will be competing in the senior women's race.
