In-form Maher has sights on Munster double

PATRICK MAHER (Davis College, Mallow), who has the national junior 400m hurdles record and qualification for the world junior championships under his belt, will bid for a double in the 400m hurdles and 400m flat at the Munster Schools Championships at the CIT Track in Bishopstown on Saturday.

In-form Maher has sights on Munster double

He will be competing in familiar surroundings as it was at this venue he set the national junior record at 52.14 secs at the Leevale Sports and he returned last week to win the 400m at the second session of the South Munsters.

He won the national junior indoor 400m title with a 50 sec run and if he improves on that outdoors then he will take a lot of beating. The big challenge in both events, however, could come from Tim Crowe (Limerick TC) whose father, Tim, is a former national champion and international at both 400m and 400m hurdles.
