Victorious Ennis feels 'stronger and quicker' ahead of Austria

She clocked 12.85, just four hundredths of a second outside her best in a race in which Wakefield international Zara Hohn finished third in 13.50.

After the hurdles she said: "I feel really good, everything is going to plan and I'm feeling a lot stronger and quicker. From what I ran last week I just feel in really good shape. I definitely think I'm quicker than last year.

"I didn't feel the wind too much. It's just nice to be here with the sun out. It's a great atmosphere and great to run here."

Having progressed through the rounds of the high jump, Ennis ended the event as the sole performer, clearing 1.93m with relative ease.

Instead of raising the bar to match her personal best of 1.95m she went for the British record of 1.96m which was just out of reach. It would have given her sole ownership of the record which she currently shares.

In her last event of the day, she threw 43.83m in the javelin, some three metres below her best but a decent performance in what is her weakest event in the heptathlon.

Ennis goes to Gotzis, Austria, next weekend for a heptathlon at one of her favourite venues, a curtain raiser for the European Championships in Barcelona.

Wakefield's Charlene Thomas finished a close second to Hannah England in the 800m. Rivals for a place in the 1,500m for the European Championships, both were getting in some early season speedwork with England (2:02.31) getting the verdict over the Wakefield athlete, who clocked 2:02.56, less than a second outside her best.

In the 400m Martin Rooney clocked 46.10 to hold off the challenge from Richard Buck (City of York).

Usain Bolt clocked 19.76 to win the 200m on his first appearance on the IAAF Diamond League circuit in Shanghai.

Bolt had a smooth pick-up out of the blocks before powering ahead of his rivals and continuing at pace right to the line to finish well clear of the rest of the field.

Bolt's time easily broke the meeting record of 20.24sec which his fellow Jamaican Chris Williams achieved in 2005 and confirmed the 100m and 200m world record holder is in fine early-season condition.

Angelo Taylor, the two-time Olympic 400m hurdles gold medallist, was a surprise second in a personal best 20.34s.
