Five headed for France

Five NSWIS athletes have been confirmed as members of the Australian team heading to the 2013 IPC Athletics World Championships in France.

The selections are led by four Paralympians from the 2012 London Games, including silver medallist Angela Ballard, and bronze medallists Richard Nicholson and Rosemary Little.

Rounding out the selections of Paralympians is Stephanie Schweitzer, with Guy Henley the fifth NSWIS athlete on the team.

The 40-strong Australian team leaves for Europe in early July before the championships take place in Lyon from July 19-28.
