Katarina Johnson-Thompson won her first global gold at the World Indoor Championships in January while Andrew Pozzi won the 60m hurdles.
Zharnel Hughes was disqualified at the Commonwealth Games after crossing the line first in the men’s 200m but Dina Asher-Smith won bronze in the women’s 200m.
The 4x100m relay teams both claimed medals at last year’s Worlds – gold for the men, silver for the women – and England won both events at the Commonwealths.
But the individual medal for Asher-Smith, 22, was a particular highlight for the Hylton sisters, who have been on junior international teams with the British 100 and 200m record holder.
Cheriece, who specialises in the 400m, also saw the excitement first hand having been selected as part of England’s 4x400m relay team for the Gold Coast, although she was not chosen to run in the final.
“I shared the same apartment as Dina in Australia and we were so happy for her when she won her individual bronze,” she says. “She has worked so hard in previous championships and come so close, so for her to get that medal was incredible.”
