Breen Express Rolls on in Hiroshima, Hunt Misses "A" in Hamburg

The final selection meeting for the London Olympics is set down for the 11th June, with many of our track and field athletes still trying to find that magical Olympic "A" standard prior to this important deadline.

Over in Japan it was the case of so close but yet so far for Melissa Breen as she again ran a whisker of the Olympic A qualifier for the 100m of 11.29s. In her heat at the Ode Memorial meeting in Hiroshima, Breen clocked an impressive 11.30s (+1.4m/s) to again lower her PB, but still came up short of the London qualifier (after initially seeing 11.27s come up on the trackside timer - only to see the time rounded up by a very surprising 0.03s).
