McCambridge won’t be appealing marathon omission

Maria McCambridge will not appeal the decision which yesterday destroyed her Olympic marathon dream.

McCambridge, was one of four athletes who secured the A standard but only three places were available for the London Games.

Yesterday, Athletics Ireland nominated Linda Byrne (DSD) who ran 2:36:21 in Dublin last October, her clubmate, Ava Hutchinson, who returned 2:35:33 in Houston in January, and Caitriona Jennings (Rathfarnham AC), who ran 2.36.14 in Rotterdam last month.
