NEWHAM & ESSEX BEAGLES Olympic 400m champion Christine Ohuruogu
made her first outdoor appearances of 2009 with two sprint victories in
California.
Competing at the Brian Clay Invitational in Azusa on
Friday, she won over both 100m and 200m in swift times of 11.51 seconds
and 23.19.
The battling Beagle repeated the feat the following
day at the Long Beach Invitational, on this occasion she recorded times
of 11.37 and 23.72.
Ohuruogu is currently preparing in
California for a summer season that will see her attempting to defend
her world 400m crown in Berlin in August.
At the competition in
Walnut, California, Olympic semi-finallist Tyrone Edgar showed he was
over the hamstring problems which cut short his indoor season as he won
the 100m in 10.20.
