CIARÁN Ó LIONÁIRD (Leevale), fresh from his sensational 1,500m run in Oordegem, Belgium, will contest the 800m at this weekend’s Woodies DIY national senior championships at Morton Stadium, Santry.

SUZANNE HUET (Dundrum/South Dublin) achieved her qualifying standard for the European junior championships when she won the 5,000m in 16:52.67 at yesterday’s national junior and under-23 championships in Tullamore.

THE long awaited clash of David McCarthy (St. Augustine’s, Dungarvan) and John Coghlan (Castleknock) in the senior boys’ 1,500m failed to live up to expectations at the KitKat Irish Schools track and field championships at Tullamore on Saturday.
