The under-15 girls 4 x 100 metres relay team of Danielle Dillon, Amy Johnson, Siobhan Robinson and Shauna Lawton raced to victory in 54.
With Sydney silver medallist Darren Campbell forced to pull out of the final after suffering a rib injury in a fall at the end of the 100 metres, the selectors will choose between him and Grant for the discretionary third place in Athens - leaving Devonish, the world indoor champion at 200 metres in 2003, with only the possibility of a place in the 4 x 100 metres relay squad.
Devonish won the silver medal in the 200 metres at the Commonwealth Games two years ago and followed up with a European bronze, but was restricted to a place in the Great Britain 4 x 100 metres relay team at last year's world championships where they finished second.
