European Indoor Championships next step for teenagerRunner hopes to emulate Keely Hodgkinson with victory
Four years ago, Keely Hodgkinson went from being an unknown teenager to an overnight sensation by claiming glory at the European Indoor Championships. Next week Innes Fitzgerald, another 18-year-old British star, will hope to repeat the trick after being named in her first British senior squad.
Fitzgerald, who recently smashed Zola Budd’s national under-20 indoor 3,000m record by 16 seconds, joins Olympic 1500m bronze medallist Georgia Hunter Bell and world indoor pole vault champion Molly Caudery in a 44-strong British squad for Apeldoorn in the Netherlands.
