Hession targets Birmingham Grand Prix for the next step

PAUL HESSION (Athenry) got exactly what he wanted in the form of a smart 6.75 second victory in the 60m final at the Woodies DIY Indoor Championships of Ireland at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast yesterday.

And that could be the final indoor race of the season for the Irish record holder who will today discuss possible participation in the Birmingham Grand Prix with his coach, Stewart Hogg.

“It is a bit quicker that last weekend and that’s fine for me,” he said. “I was looking at maybe running a 6.70 sec and I ran 75 so there is a bit more there.
