Mageean aims for indoor glory

CIARA MAGEEAN will maintain her amazing momentum when she embarks on a busy indoor schedule that includes the Woodies DIY Irish senior championships at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast on February 19-29.

Athletics Northern Ireland and Athletics Ireland announced the Woodie’s DIY Irish Indoor Senior Championships will take place at the Odyssey Arena on February 19-20. The competition acts as Trials for places on the Irish team for the European Indoor Championships in Paris.

The past year has been an exciting one for the Portaferry teenager who runs with City of Lisburn AC. While she smashed all records available to her, the highlight was her silver medal in the 1,500 at the world junior championships in Canada where she set the fastest time of the year by a European junior.
