Jones ready to lead US to victory at Kelvin Hall

ATHLETICS: American captain and world indoor 60metres hurdles champion Lolo Jones believes she can her team can triumph at the Aviva International Match in Glasgow on 30 January.

Jones won her race at Kelvin Hall last year and hopes a return trip will see a repeat of that success as well as the US team leaving with the match cup in hand, allowing her to build up form ahead of March's World Indoor Championships. "It looks like it will be one of the strongest teams we have sent there and of course we hope that we can lift the cup at the end of the event," said the 27-year-old Iowa track star.

Jones will once again go head-to-head with Sarah Claxton, who will run for the Great Britain and Northern Ireland team. Claxton will join a GB and NI squad which also includes Jenny Meadows, Lisa Dobriskey and captain Jessica Ennis.
