SPRINT star Rebecca White was delighted with the excellent debut she made in a Great Britain vest at the Indoor Athletics International held at Birmingham's National Indoor Arena.
The Blackburn Harrier finished runner-up overall to German favourite Reucher in the 60M dash after winning one and coming second in the other of her two races.
She only lost out on top spot by one hundredth of a second.
"It was my debut for Great Britain so I was delighted to do so well," said Rebecca.
"This is certainly the greatest achievement in my career so far.
"I was only the fourth fastest on paper before the start of the event so I wasn't seen as one of the favourites."
The Blackburn athlete is now looking ahead to the forthcoming outdoor season with great confidence.
"I am hoping to go to the World Juniors in France in the summer. That is my immediate ambition," said Rebecca.
