🚀 Magic Mabel Motors in Metz Moselle Athlelor Meeting 🚀
@teamgb Jnr and @ukafutures athlete, @mabel_akande stepped into a high class @worldathletics field during the indoor tour last weekend, running the 60m.
The @nikerunning (@bluecarpetsportsmanagement ) athlete safely negotiated a tough heat finishing 2nd out of 6, producing a SB of 7.36s, amongst competitors with greater PBs than herself.
The final took place less than an hour later, including Australia’s Torrie Lewis @_torrielewis_ who had won Mabel’s heat in 7.29s. Again it was Torrie who prevailed, blisteringly winning the final in 7.20s and a National Record. Mabel finished in 4th place in Final 1, in 7.33s (a season’s best), 0.02s from 3rd place.
Final 2 was the slower of the two, with the winner finishing in 7.31s, which, had Mabel had been in, would’ve placed her 2nd in this race. Only the winner here, Marie-ange Rimlinger, in front of a home French crowd, ran quicker than Mabel.
Congratulations Mabel, and good luck at the next stop, @keelyklassic at the weekend! A superb performance! Let’s all give Mabel a massive 👏👏👏❤️
