Christie claims first national senior title
But he left the Irish selectors in something a dilemma as he has delayed a decision on whether he will run in the U23 or the senior race at the European cross-country championships in Italy next month.
“I won’t decide on anything until I discuss the matter with my coach (David Burke) but, right now my preference would be the U23’s,” he said, after a power packed performance that saw him split a leading 10-man group at halfway and then race away from the survivors.
