JOHNCOCK IS PRAGUE-BOUND
Rachel Johncock's turned on the style once again at the Sainsbury's Indoor Grand Prix when she earned her place on the plane to the European Indoor Championships in Prague next month.
The former Colwyn Bay sprinter broke her own Welsh record in the 60-metre heat, clocking 7.24s, which was one-hundredth of a second inside the GB qualifying time.
She was unable to step up another gear in the final, finishing eighth but she had the added satisfaction of having beaten the 2012 Olympic silver medallist, Carmelita Jetter of the United States.
At the same televised meeting Welsh pole vault record-holder Sally Peake (Birchfield) from Hawarden, cleared 4.15 before pulling out with an injury.
