Five new athletes selected for ‘On Camp with Kelly’
08 March 2010

Five new athletes have been selected by double Olympic champion Dame Kelly Holmes to join her successful ‘On Camp with Kelly’ mentoring and education initiative which has been sponsored by Aviva since it began in 2004.

The athletes, who have been selected as a result of their excellent performances over 800m and/or 1500m in recent seasons, are Faye Fullerton (Havering Mayesbrook), Vicky Griffiths (Liverpool Harriers), Amanda Moss (Cardiff AAC), Shelayna Oskan (Windsor Slough Eton & Hounslow) and Harriet Scott (Havering Mayesbrook).

The five athletes all attended the latest ‘On Camp with Kelly’ Get-Together at Birmingham University on Sunday 21 February.  As well as taking part in training sessions and workshops with 30 other OCWK athletes, they were given a full introduction to the initiative by Dame Kelly.  The athletes will now undergo an education programme to bring their knowledge in areas such as injury prevention and rehab, nutrition and anti-doping education to a similar level as existing OCWK members.

Dame Kelly said: “Not all athletes develop at the same rate and I wanted to open up ‘On Camp with Kelly’ to a small number of high achieving older athletes who were not invited as juniors.  I am sure that the mentoring and education support the athletes will be able to access through ‘On Camp with Kelly’ together with hard work they put in with their coaches will help them to achieve even more in the future.  It was great to meet Faye, Vicky, Amanda, Shelayna and Harriet at the Get-Together and I look forward to working with them.”

Heather Smith, Head of Sponsorship & CR at Aviva, said: “We are proud to have supported ‘On Camp with Kelly’ from the beginning and we are very pleased to be welcoming five new athletes to the initiative.  It is our hope that Aviva’s support and Dame Kelly’s mentoring and advice will assist these athletes to develop into world class performers.”
