Laura Muir impresses in her season opener in Eugene

The Newly-qualified vet Muir will have been greatly encouraged by her first top-class 1500m since completing her final degree exams. Having sat out the Commonwealth Games to concentrate on her studies, the 25-year-old hardly looked like she had been away in her major outdoor season opener in Eugene as she produced a tremendous late surge to clock 3:59.30min in narrowly coming second to Shelby Houlihan.

Laura will be competing next over the 800m in Oslo on June, 7.
