She ran her lifetime best of 50.93 secs at the 1991 World Championships in Tokyo, which at the time moved her to fourth on the British all-time list, and as of 2018 ranks her 13th. At the same championship, she was a member of the British 4 x 400 metres relay quartet (along with Phylis Smith, Sally Gunnell and Linda Keough) that finished fourth in the British record time of 3:22.01; a time that would stand as the British record for 16 years.
