Adelle gets gold
in South of England Championships
AND is selected for the European Youth Olympic Festival

OLYMPIC hope Adelle Tracey has become the second fastest 800 metres runner in Guildford & Godalming's history.

The flying teenager smashed a 24-year record on her way to victory in the South of England U17 Championships title at Ashford on May 26.

Her time of 2:07.57 - the best for her age in the UK this year - was more than a second quicker than that clocked by Philippa Mason at Crystal Palace in September 1985.
