SCOTT Overall won the 5000m in style at the trials for the Great Britain team for the world championships in Birmingham.

After being in the lead group for the whole race the Blackheath & Bromley athlete applied the pressure in the latter stages and held off all challengers to win in 13.57.75.

All winners at the Trials are selected for the World Championships subject to them having achieved the A standard.

Scott has still to achieve this time of 13.20 and has two weeks to obtain the qualification.

One athlete who is in a better position to gain selection is Montell Douglas.

She finished third in the 100 metres and will be in a good position to be selected for at least the relay.

Not so fortunate were Mike Skinner and Dwayne Grant who had injury problems.

For Mike an achilles injury which flared up in the days leading up to the Championships did not heal sufficiently and although he started the 5000 he had to drop out rather than risk making it worse.

Dwayne struggled in the semi finals of the 100 metres as he picked up a grade one hamstring tear, a great shame as he had timed 10.37 the Wednesday prior to the Championships at Salamanca in Spain.

He too hopes to be back in action soon.

Christine Lawrence was 7th in the javelin with a distance of 45.32.

Ed Harrison set a personal best of 52.51 in the heats of the 400 hurdles but the tough qualifying conditions meant he did not make the final.

Derek Paisley returned from injury to run 54.36. Anike Shand Whittingham missed out on a place in the womens 100 metres final by four hundredths of a second.
