Hatti ready for another record bid

ATHLETICSHatti Dean (Hallamshire) has a place in the prestigious end of season IAAF World Final in Stuttgart over the weekend.

It will be a chance for Dean to beat her own UK record in the 3000 metres steeplechase.

Her target time is 9:38.56. The quality field, headed by World Champion Yekaterina (Russia), gives Dean a fine chance of eclipsing her record if conditions are good.

In an outstanding season the 25-year-old civil servant was unfortunate to narrowly miss out on a final place in the World Championships in Osaka.

Since then she has continued to run well and only last weekend ran a blistering stage for Hallamshire in the Yorkshire Road Relay Championship.

Sprint king Tyson Gay has ruled out taking on Asafa Powell again this year.
