NEWPORT sprint star Mica Moore shared the stage with Olympic champion Jessica Ennis-Hill at the Loughborough International Athletics meeting on Sunday.

Ennis-Hill, who won heptathlon gold for Team GB at London 2012, continued her return to action after nearly two years away from athletics following the birth of her son.

She took third place in the long jump with a leap of 6.16m and threw 43.88m to finish sixth in the javelin at the annual international between Wales, England, Scotland, GB Juniors and Loughborough Students.

Moore, who helped the Welsh 4x100m relay team to a national record at last year’s Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, finished fifth in the 100m.

The 22-year-old former Newport Harriers athlete, who now runs for Birchfield Harriers, clocked a wind-assisted time of 11.86 seconds (+2.1 wind).

Moore finished behind England’s Margaret Adeo, Shannon Hylton (GB Juniors), Daryll Neita (Shaftesbury Barnet) and Clieo Stephenson (BUCS).

But she then helped the Wales 4x100 team to third place in the sprint relay behind GB Juniors and England in a time of 46.07 seconds.

Moore’s Glasgow 2014 relay teammate Hannah Brier enjoyed a good afternoon as she secured a qualifying time for July’s World Youth Championships with a big personal best of 23.59 seconds in the women’s 200m.

The 17-year-old was the youngest athlete ever to compete for Wales in athletics at the Commonwealth Games last summer.

Brier said: “The World Youth time has been my target all winter so I am delighted to have finally got it.

“I had a hamstring problem at the end of last summer after a long, hard season but it seems to have cleared up and training has been going very well.”

Commonwealth silver medalist Sally Peake kicked off her outdoor season with a comfortable victory in the pole vault.

Peake vaulted 4.20m to finish well clear of the rest of the field.

The 29-year-old had her indoor season disrupted by a calf injury and was pleased with her first outdoor competition of 2015.

“I’ve been taking my time since the injury to make sure it doesn’t happen again, so I’m happy with how things went today,” said reigning British champion Peake.

“I had to work off a shorter run-up and the conditions were a little tricky but it feels good to have the first competition under my belt and hopefully I can push on from here.”

World Junior Championships bronze medalist David Omoregie was second in the men’s 100m hurdles in 13.89s.

Osian Jones continued his bright early season form with another personal best of 67.88m in a very strong men’s hammer competition.

Brett Morse produced his biggest throw since July 2013 as he won the men’s discus competition with 63.42m.

Four-time British champion Lee Doran finished second in the men’s javelin after a second round throw of 71.18m, but there was disappointment for the 29-year-old as he suffered a knee injury in round five and couldn’t continue.

In the field 2010 Commonwealth Games silver medalist Carys Parry finished second in the women’s hammer behind winner Sophie Hitchen with a best throw of 66.36m.
