Fleur Hollyer (under-17) set a sparkling new personal best in the 60m.

With a good drive and pick-up phase from the start, she stopped the clock at 8.36sec, which is well inside the national standard entry qualifying time for the England Indoor Championships in Sheffield later this month.

Rachel Laurie (under-20), having missed all last season because of foot surgery, and now back focusing all her training on the 200m and 400m, made an impromptu last-minute decision to compete in the 60m.
