Athletics: Harding just misses out on student final

Aug 11 2007 by Bob Cypher, South Wales Echo

WELSH 400m runner Faye Harding failed to qualify for the world student games final in Thailand – but it was close.

Harding, a student at Loughbrough University, finished fifth in her semi-final, just two 100ths of a second behind the fourth-placed athlete, Maris Magi, of Estonia, who was timed at 53.53secs.

Today, Uwic student Richard Hill is due to begin his bid for a medal in the 800m, and on Monday, European Under-23 triple jump champion Gary White begins his campaign.
