NATASHA Danvers might have mixed experiences of the Super8 competition, but she will be running in the event his summer.

The Croydon Harrier, who won Olympic 400m hurdles bronze in 2008, captained the London South team to the Super8 title last year.

She will return to captain a joint London team in the event at Glasgow on Wednesday July 7.

However, her participation in the series finished with a hamstring injury that kept her out of the British trials for the World Championships and effectively ended her season.

The United States-based sprinter is hoping the series will be a launchpad for a successful year.

"After a good spell of warm weather training in San Diego, California, I am ready to get out there and race again," she said.

"Super8 is a great concept and I hope the people of Glasgow give us their full support.

""I'm also so proud to be given the opportunity to captain the London team once again.

"As London South captain we took the title last year and now I have both sides of the city to call upon for my team.

"Super8 in Cardiff was really well received by all the athletes last year and it was just unfortunate for me that I got injured. Injuries are part of the sport and they can happen anywhere.

"I'm looking forward to leading London this year to hopefully another team title.

"I hope the London athletes will come out in force and be proud to represent their city.

"As a young athlete I loved representing London Schools, so it's great as a senior athlete to represent London and be part of a successful team."

The other seven cities to confirm their participation in Super8 2010 are: hosts Glasgow, Gateshead, Manchester, Sheffield, Birmingham, Cardiff and Plymouth.
