KELLY Baker has powered her way into the spotlight after back to back appearances.

The West Cheshire AC youngster smashed her shot put personal best twice at weekend meetings held at Liverpool and Connah's Quay.

She finished second with a put of 8.95m for second place in the under 15 girls event at Liverpool, as well as winning the discus (23.69m) and claiming second spot in the hammer (23.37m).

And Kelly then scored a hat-trick of personal bests as part of the West Cheshire AC squad at the opening round of the Cheshire Track and Field League at Connah's Quay.

She bettered her shot put best to 9.17m for victory, as well as clearing a new high jump best of 1.35m for a B string win, and had sprinted to a new 100m best of 14.3 seconds earlier in the day.

Kelly was backed up at Deeside Stadium by Alice Jennings, who finished third in the high jump with 1.45m.
