19 year-old athlete Harriet Pryke from Laxey is aiming to qualify for this year's Commonwealth Games in Delhi.
Recently, she won the North of England Senior 400 metres Indoor Championship title at Sheffield, and this weekend set a personal best of 57.2 seconds at a meeting in London.
She needs to knock two more seconds off to be considered for a place on the plane to India.
Harriet told Manx Radio Sport her indoor form should mean a realistic tilt at the target time:-
