Zoey Clark (born 25 October 1994) is a British sprinter.[2] She competed in the women's 400 metres and was part of the British 4 × 400 relay team that won the silver medal at the 2017 World Championships in Athletics.[3] Since then she has won two international bronzes in the relay and most recently a silver in the same event at the 2019 European Athletics Indoor Championships.[4] She was selected as part of the 4x400m relay team for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.[5]
In January 2022, she struck national double gold at Glasgow's Emirates Arena, winning the 60m in 7.50secs after a battle with Leeds athlete Hilary Gode, before going on to lower her Scottish record to 23.36sec with her win in the 200m. That was an improvement on the 23.58 she ran at the same venue four years previously.[6] Clark has a degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Aberdeen.
