OLYMPIC hopeful Stacey Houldsworth has clocked up another impressive finish to enhance her growing reputation as one of Britain's top swimmers.

Great Harwood-based Houldsworth finished fourth in the Womens' 400 metres freestyle at a World Cup Short Course meet in Imperia, Italy.

Her time of 4 mins 10.76 secs was only marginally slower than British team-mate Rebecca Cooke who clocked 4m 09.27 to finish second.

It's been a big week for Houldsworth, who won bronze in a similar event in Berlin at the weekend, as well as a fourth place finish in the 800 freestyle on Wednesday.
