ALISTAIR CRAGG was yesterday basking in the glory of a new Irish record he set on Sunday when he smashed Mark Carroll’s national 10,000m mark with a 27:39.55 run at the Payton Jordan Cardinal Invitational meeting in Stanford University, California.

Catherina McKiernan showed a return to her best form, winning the women's section in the Adidas Frank Duffy 10-mile race in the Phoenix Park earlier today, in a time of 57:24.
