Do you know when Lizzie Bird last ran as she was out injured for most if not all of last season? 

She competed earlier this month on the road - I think she did the Boston mile a couple of weeks ago and did the 5k event at the Paris marathon at the start of April but her last track race was probably in July last year.

Texas Results

 

M LJ Jacob Fincham-Dukes equals his PB with 8.08 but it's not a legal wind then comes back in the last round to win the event with a legal wind PB of 8.20

 

W200 Dina Asher-Smith looks fantastic with an easy win in 22.29

Both bits of news are very promising. Dina has been looking more like her old self in the early season … 22.29 is a solid marker in April to be putting down.

 

Curious to see what Amber can do this weekend.

Jade O'Dowda's quest to get the OQS in the heptathlon takes a bit of a knock after a 13.87 in the 100m hurdles. She's looks to be in great form but was running into a 2.8m/s headwind. It's difficult to see how she can get the standard now without PBing in a couple of events.
