24 year old Wendy Davidson continued her encouraging transition into a 400m hurdler specialist by collecting a Silver medal at Scottish National Championships.
The Anthony Brannen coached athlete, who was the clubs only City of Stoke A.C representative at the previous week’s World Trials/UK Championships, revised her life time best by circuiting the track in 61.99 seconds when placing second behind Elidh Child, the UK championship bronze medallist, who won in an impressive 58.08.

For Davidson, the former heptathletes decision to switch event has been rewarded with a highly successful 2007 campaign. Despite her infancy in the discipline her silver medal can now be added to her seasons accolades that include midland Bronze, Inter-counties finalist and World Trial/ UK Championship qualifier, and a personal best that sits her 30^th on the current U.K rankings. I’m sure that with solid winter training she will etch closer to the 60-second barrier in the event next year and experience even greater success.
