Jeanette Kwakye and Tiffany Porter have both been picked in the 67-strong British squad for the 2011 IAAF World Championships.

The Woodford Green with Essex Ladies athletes will both be representing their country in the 4x100m relay as well as competing in their individual disciplines.

Kwakye, from Waltham Forest, will take to the track in the 100m and will be hoping to set a good time with the London Olympics less than a year away.

The 28-year-old has competed in the Games before, finishing sixth at Beijing in 2008.

Porter has been chosen to represent the British side in the 100m hurdles.

The 23-year-old, who had initially represented the United Sates until 2010, has had medal success this year, collecting silver in 60m hurdles at the European Indoor Championships in March.

Both athletes will now prepare for the World Championships held in Daegu, South Korea, from August 27 to September 4.

Meanwhile, Tracey Duncan showed a glimpse that she is returning to her best at the weekend, as she put in an impressive performance for Woodford Green.

Following a fourth-placed finish in the world trials the previous weekend, Duncan won the 400m hurdles in 58.29 secs, helping her club finish fourth overall in the UK Women's Premier League.

Despite going into their final fixture in fifth place, Woodford knew that due to the tight nature of the league this season, relegation was still possible.

However, thanks to impressive performances from former GB&NI European Championships representative Duncan, who also came third in the 400m and contributed a 55.1-sec leg to the 4x400m relay, as well as many other team members, it was a successful day for the club.

As a result, they finished the afternoon in second on equal points with City of Manchester (Sale Harriers), taking them to fourth overall for the season.

There were impressive performances across on both the track and field from Woodford.

On the track, Katie Skelding placed sixth in the 100m A race in 12.46 secs, with Kitty Eleyae coming sixth in the B with 12.76 sec.

In the 100m hurdles A race, heptathlete Gemma Weetman placed sixth with 15.45 secs and in the B Moe Sasegbon was third with 15.27 secs.

Woodford also recorded admirable finishes in the replays.

In the 4x100m, the team of Katie Skelding, Gemma Weetman, Kitty Eleyae and Tara Bird came sixth with 48.88 secs, and the 4x400m team of Gemma Weetman, Linzi Snow, Bird and Duncan came fifth with 3m 49.23 secs.

In the 400m B event, Skelding also placed well as she finished 3rd in 56.98 seconds.

Nusrat Ceesay also impressed in the sprint events, winning the 400m B hurdles in 59.28 secs and coming seventh in the 200m in 25.3 secs.

Equally as impressive was 800m specialist Bird's inclusion in the 200m B race as she finished in 25.60 secs.

Over the longer distances, there were impressive performances in both the 800m races.

In the A event, Jess Sparke finished second in 2 mins 08.45 secs, with Kathrine Foy finishing the B race in sixth place with a time of 2 mins 20.78 secs.

Returning long distance runner Linzi Snow marked her come back to the 1500m, finishing in an impressive second in 4 mins 30.75 secs. In the B race, Bernadine Pritchett finished third in 4 mins 52.66 secs.

It was a busy afternoon for Lauren Stewart as she competed in both the 3000m and the 2km steeplechase.

In the 3000m, she finished fourth, finishing just two seconds away from her personal best in 10 mins 15.07 secs. And she was then forced to step in to her second event at the last minute despite never having hurdled before, finishing in an admirable fifth place in 8 mins 08.53 secs.

In the field events, Sasegbon placed second in the high jump with 1.70m, with Weetman coming third in the B event with 1.60m. Not only did Weetman contribute to the high jump and both relays, she also came sixth in the B shot putt with 10.67m.

Hannah Frankson placed fifth in the B long jump with 5.36m, before placing third in the the triple jump with 12.53m.

Multi-event athlete Eleyae also competed in the long jump, finishing fifth with a season’s best of 5.87m, while Stephanie Aneto won the B triple jump with 12.47m.

In the pole vault, Louise Shortland placed third, equalling her outdoor personal best of 3.70m, while Kirsty Mackintosh won the B event.
