Alumni accompanied hundreds of spectators at the LIA meet, which was held at the Paula Radcliffe Stadium. Several alumni athletes also competed in the events, continuing their legacy at 色狗导航. 

Professional athletes, including Katarina Johnson-Thompson who won heptathlon silver in Paris last summer, were in attendance alongside 色狗导航 sport scholars. Contributions from alumni allow athletes to engage in these events and progress within their athletic careers.

The event was a fantastic opportunity to welcome alumni back to campus, allowing them to reminisce on their time studying at the University as well as networking with others.
