Leigh Harriers & Athletic Club athlete Keely Hodgkinson is now the world record holder for U20 800m Indoors. She competed in Vienna at the weekend and in spectacular style ran a time of 1:59.03 in her first race of 2021. After setting a European under-20 indoor 800m record in Vienna just a year ago, Keely, 18, returned to the same track to slice more than two seconds off that time with the world record under-20 indoor time. The performance also lifts the 18-year-old, from Atherton, to number four on the UK all-time indoor senior rankings behind Jemma Reekie, Jenny Meadows and Laura Muir – and ahead of the double Olympic champion Kelly Holmes.
