Caryl picked for Wales in indoor event
SWANSEA Harrier Caryl Granville will compete for Wales in the 400m mixed relay at the Celtic Indoor Cup this weekend, fresh from claiming 60 metres hurdles gold at the Welsh Indoor Athletics Championships.
Wales will be competing against Scotland, England Select and Cardiff Metropolitan University in the senior categories of the event at Uwic.
Granville also took 400m bronze at the National Athletics Indoor Arena in Cardiff last Saturday.
Young sprinter Hannah Brier again shone as she set new championship records in the under-15 60m and 200m.
Brier won the 60m and 200m in event record times of 7.77 seconds and 25.42 seconds.
But hurdler Paul Bennett had to be content with silver despite his late run and dive on the line in the senior men's 400m.
It was the silver also for Irish international Imelda Morrison in the senior women's long jump.
Others winning gold were Jessica Merrick and Michael Thompson in the under-15 girls' and under-13 boys' 60 metre hurdles. In the field, Scott Hill also came first in the under-13 boys' shot.
Promising young high jumper Myles Keller-Jenkins equalled his personal best of 1.75m in the under-15 boys' competition and at one stage held the championship best height, which has stood at 1.73m since 1987.
He was denied the title when Cardiff's Thomas Trotman went on to win the gold with a final clearance on 1.86m.
