Grace Reid in good position for world title tilt after silver in Sheffield

Grace Reid has all but secured her place in the world championships

Edinburgh’s Grace Reid all but secured her place at this summer’s world diving championships with silver in the women's 3m springboard at the British Championships in Sheffield.

The 26-year-old, who will defend her Commonwealth 1m title in Birmingham, was second to Yasmin Harper who booked automatic selection with Reid’s pick a formality.

“I'm really pleased at being really consistent across the weekend, no dramas and a really positive performance on the 1m and 3m,” she said. “I'm pleased to be diving consistently, individually, again.

“We'll have to wait to see what happens with qualification for the summer obviously, it's such a tough field and tough event. We'll see what happens, but I'm hoping that I've got things to gear towards this summer and carry on the preparations I've been making because I'm really enjoying my diving right now and I think the results reflect that.”
