Ennis for Gotzis

Istanbul, said: “I am disappointed but it’s not a massive setback,I’m
in better shape than I was last year, it was a PB, I’ve done some PB’s,
I’ve things I have to work on. I’m not at my limit. If I’d not scored a
PB and been below par I’d have been even more disappointed. I will use
it as motivation. You learn things from every championship you go to. I
was happy with the way I ran the 800m. That was the best I’ve ever run
it tactically, so I can take a lot from that.” With the world’s most
competitive non-championship heptathlon due to take place in Austria at
the end of May: “Gotzis will be a real good indication of how it’s going
to pan out in the summer.”

reigning NCAA 800m champion, has decided to forgo his remaining
collegiate eligibility and has signed a professional management
contract.  Andrews, 20, said in a telephone interview last night from

chance of making the 2012 USA Olympic team. Andrews, who has a personal

already left the Virginia team late last month).  He said that he would
continue to train with USA mile record holder Alan Webb, who is also
coached by Vigilante, but the duo would continue to use a nearby high
school track because the university’s facilities were no longer
available to them. Ray Flynn of Flynn Sports Management confirmed by
