Chichester trio get 2018 campaign off to a sprinting start
In the under-15 age group Fleur Hollyer conquered her new 60m hurdles stride pattern with a PB of 10.88sec. In the 60m sprint, despite being drawn in an outside lane, a confident start and with a good drive-and-finish phase saw her set a 60m PB of 8.51sec – taking nearly half a second off her previous mark but missing the final by just 0.02sec.
Sophie Dudman, competing as an under-15 for the first time, looked very strong in the 60m hurdles, stopping the clock at 10.31sec. Later in the 60m sprint – also drawn in an outside lane – she ran technically her best sprint race of her career to date, recording an encouraging PB of 8.71sec.
