Description
Lee McConnell is a retired Scottish athlete, who competed in the 400 metres. She attended Holyrood R.C. Secondary School in Glasgow before graduating from Loughborough University in 2000 with a degree in Sports Science. She became the Scottish 200 metres champion in 2002, and 2005. She also won the 400 metres in 2001. On top of this she won the AAAs 400 metres championship in 2002 and an individual bronze medal at the 2002 European championships, then added a Commonwealth silver in the 400 in that same season.
In 2003 she came 2nd in the European cup 400 metres and 2nd in the 4 x 400 metres relay. In addition to winning medals in individual contests, she has been a fairly successful relay runner. Her personal best time over 400 m is 50.82 seconds.
McConnell was originally a high jumper, before turning to her current event and then 400-metre hurdles. After the 2007 season, McConnell decided to give up hurdling, as her transition from the flat had not been as successful as she had intended, and she has therefore returned her focus to the 400 m flat.
McConnell has been known for participating in the relay team for Great Britain at major events.
