Welshman coming first in relay heat, you second (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rhys

'welshman' is the definition.
(common Welsh first name)

'first in relay heat you second' is the wordplay.
'first in' says to take the initial letters.
The first letters of 'relay heat you second' is 'RHYS'.

'coming' acts as a link.

(Another definition for rhys that I've seen is " Impetuous Welshman".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
