Chesterfield runner and Hallam University student Alicia Barrett wins silver in European 100m hurdles

Barrett clocked 13.28 behind winner Solene Ndame (France) who ran a personal best of 13.15.

It was always likely to be a clash between the two. Ndame had beaten Barrett in th e heat. In the semi final they were in different races with Barrett being the overall fastest.

Barrett, a student at Sheffield Hallam University, was hampered by a tight hamstring but it was a great performance by the 19-year-old.

Her twin sister Ella was in the British quartet which reached the final of the 4 by 400 metres relay.

Earlier in the meeting James Gormley (City of Sheffield and Dearne), well below his best, was eliminated in the heats of the 1500 metres.
