Europa Cup Report
Rachel
King's late call up to the Great Britain & Northern
Ireland team for the Inaugural Indoor Europa Cup proved
very profitable as she achieved the qualifying mark
for the IAAF World Indoor Championships, to held in
Birmingham
Replacing the injured Diane Hawkins, King clocked 8.20
to take an excellent fourth place in a race won by Spain's
European Champion Glorie Alozie. The Welsh Champion's
time was fractionally outside her best ever time indoors
but matched exactly the requirement standard for the
Worlds.
In the
men's race European Junior bronze medallist Dominic
Girdler performed creditably on his British Senior debut
clocking 7.87, 5/100ths outside his recent new pb, in
finishing seventh, the race being won by Germany's Mike
Fenner.
