Welcome to this week’s edition of our weekly news and events roundup of all things Whippet-related.

Congratulations to Grace Bowen, who qualified for the Olympic Trials at the Philadelphia Marathon last weekend! Grace is the second member of the team to qualify for the trials, joining Jessica Chichester.
