Another record for Pryke

Harriet Pryke’s fine 2012 continued on Saturday as she set another Manx record at the UK Indoor Championships in Sheffield.

The 400 metre runner finished third in her heat with a new personal best and new Manx indoor record (her third in a row!) of 54.89 seconds – finishing ahead of World Championships bronze medallist Nicola Sanders in the process.

That secured a semi-final spot and, although Harriet’s sixth spot wasn’t enough to clinch a place in the final, she still recorded a time of 55.43 seconds.
