Laura Muir claimed gold in the 3,000m at the UK Indoor Championships in Birmingham on Sunday.
The Olympic silver medallist stormed to victory in eight minutes 58.80 seconds, earning a spot at the World Indoor Championships on home soil in Glasgow.
She will be joined there in March by fellow Scot Jemma Reekie, who won the 800m final with a time of 1:58.24.
Katarina Johnson-Thompson, the double world heptathlon champion, came ninth in the shot put final.
Despite throwing an indoor personal best of 13.29m to qualify for Glasgow, Johnson-Thompson will not compete at the World Indoor Championships as she prepares for this summer’s Olympics.
“I am gutted because I did European indoors in Glasgow in 2018 and I’ve got really good memories of it,” she said.
“It’s just a decision to throw everything into Paris.”
Amelia Campbell won gold in the shot put, registering 17.74m in her third throw to take victory.
