""That time now will give me so much confidence going on to a world stage, do some Diamond League meets and prove to everyone and myself that I can be competitive. "The Europeans and Commonwealth Games this year is good as it is that stepping stone to the Worlds and Olympics. "The sky is the limit - I can take away so much confidence. Having known I could do this time but then proving it, does mean a lot to me. Now I feel like I can do anything.""
""It was absolutely the race of my life," she said., external "Things with my coach and I have been going really well and I am in such a happy and healthy place. "I am in shock but it does make sense with the training I've been doing.""
""There is lots of competition with only two spots and obviously Georgia and Keely both won [World Championships] medals last year," added Boffey, who is based at Birmingham University."
Isabelle Boffey, 25, won the 800m at the BU Terrier Classic in Boston with a time of 1:57.43. The performance was almost two seconds faster than her previous best and places her second on the British indoor all-time list behind Keely Hodgkinson's 1:57.18. The time is the fastest in the world this year and makes her the eighth-fastest woman ever over the distance indoors. Boffey is targeting the Commonwealth Games for Wales and the European Championships in Birmingham, with the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Poland a realistic goal. The result increases confidence for British Champs, Diamond League opportunities and global championships ambitions.
