Marchant claims four titles at National Track Champs

Marchant added the 500m time trial title to her sprint and keirin victories at the National Cycling Centre before winning the team sprint with Jess Varnish.

Double Olympic champion Laura Trott delivered a tactical masterclass to take the points race, having already collected gold medals in the scratch race and individual pursuit.

Marchant and Jess Varnish then saw off the challenge of Shanaze Reade and Vicky Williamson in the gold medal final as Eleanor Richardson and Helen Scott won bronze.

"I wasn't expecting it at all but I'm really happy with how this weekend has gone," Marchant said. "I've reached personal achievements that I wanted.

"Hopefully this weekend has proved that I am good for my spot on the team and obviously London and eventually Rio is the main aim and but I cannot let myself get complacent."

Meanwhile, Philip Hindes, Jason Kenny and Matt Crampton had too much quality in the men's team sprint to defeat Peter Mitchell, Matthew Roper and Tom Scammell in a time of 44.001 seconds to 46.763 seconds.

Matt Rotherham, Jack Payne and Tom Rotherham collected bronze in 46.242 seconds against Jonathan Biggin, Jack Carlin and Jonathan Mitchell.

"Today was really good," said Crampton, who also won the keirin title. "It's difficult to get good hit-outs as a team, but we've all got reasonable form and this means something. We all did consistent laps and have something to build on now.

"There's a big selection criteria for man three, so it's good for me personally to have three bites at the cherry. We've got to go faster and faster and keep improving."

In the men's team pursuit, Germain Burton, Jake Kelly, Mark Stewart and Oliver Wood started and caught Scotland Development's Peter Anderson, Tom Arnstein, Philip Trodden and Ruari Yeoman in 3:05.704 minutes.

And Stewart's day got even better as he took a second gold with an excellent victory in the men's scratch race.
