Owen Heard returns for his second Team England appearance having cut his teeth at Birmingham 2022.
The pole vaulter went to the Birmingham Games having almost quit the sport due to mental health struggles, but bounced back to qualify and finish fifth on home soil.
He has continued to reach new heights, claiming back-to-back British titles in 2025 and 2026, and soaring to a new personal best of 5.71m.
That height lifted him to fifth in the UK all-time list and he will hope to continue that form in Glasgow as he eyes a Commonwealth medal.
