Sammi Kinghorn made it five wins out of five in her first outing of the summer to set out her stall for this summer’s IPC world championships in London.
The 21-year-old, lowered the world record in the T53 200 metres record to 28.67 at the Arizona World Grand Prix in a major boost to her hopes.
And the wheelchair racer, who missed out on the medals at last summer’s Paralympics in Rio, also took victory over 100m, 400m and 800m before wrapping up her conquest in the 1500m.
Elsewhere, European Championship finalist Jake Wightman, freshly-returned from training at altitude in Arizona, broke his 800 metres personal best in his opening outing of the campaign by clocking 1:46.36 at the BMC Grand Prix in Solihull, the fastest effort by a Scot in almost 20 years.
Emily Dudgeon and Kelsey Stewart were fourth and fifth in the women’s 800m with Cameron Boyek fourth in the men’s 1500m.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
