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 eight 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.
