Funmi the fastest at West Park
The exciting new Worthing Harrier's 10.8sec for their Young Athletes team launched him into a week which brings his international debut for Britain in the World Schools Championships in Thessa-loniki, Greece, tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday.
Ranked No 1 at under-17 in this country after running 10.6sec at Cambridge, he is viewed as a prospect for the London Olympics 2012. Ex-world gold medallist Derek Redmond confirmed this potential: "Funmi has already proved to have many of the star qualities essential to make it in this sport."
