OLYMPIC heptathlon bronze medallist Kelly Sotherton is one of the big names being lined up for next Sunday's Loughborough International athletics match.

The Isle of Wight all-rounder is pencilled in for outings in the 100 metres hurdles, high jump and javelin.

Birmingham-based Sotherton got her season off to a promising start two weeks ago competing for Birchfield Harriers in the Midland Women's League at Nottingham.

She threw close to her personal bests in the shot and javelin. Both distances - 13.37 and 38.89 metres - were better than she achieved in Athens last year.
