Melaine Walker returns to MVP

by August 4th, 2017

Beijing  Olympic  400  metre  hurdles  champion  Melanie  Walker  is  heading  back  to  the  Stephen Francis  led  MVP camp.

Walker  who  also  won  the  400  metre  hurdles  at  the  2009  world  Championships  in  Berlin   and  silver  in  Daegu  in  2011 parted  company  with  MVP  back  in  2012 after  the  London Olympics   to  fulfill  her  ambitions  in the  100  metres  hurdles.

She  made a surprise appearance at  the  National Senior trials in 2015  where  she  produced  a  disappointing  effort in the  event at  the  time  competing  under  the  Glen  Mills  led  racers  track  club  banner.

Coach  Stephen  Francis  is  hopeful  that  on  her  return  she  decides  to  run  the  400  metres  hurdles.

Walker has  a  personal  best  in the  women’s  400  metres  hurdles  of    52.42 seconds  which  she  achieved  in  2009 and  in  2006  ran  her  fastest  100  metres  hurdles  of  12.75 seconds.
