"But she worked and worked on her keepie uppies and got into the hundreds. A spell studying physics at Loughborough University furthered her education on and off the track before she moved to London to study teacher training.The acclaimed athletics coach remembers seeing Potter win a schools cross country event in Scotland in 2008, beating some of his English athletes.
