Junior starlet Maher going flat out for another national crown at Nenagh
The Leevale athlete, who represented Ireland in the 400m hurdles at last year’s world junior championships in Canada, reverts to the 400m flat, and it was in this event he made a major breakthrough last year before going on to break the 400m hurdles record — twice — en route to the world junior championships.
Edmund O’Halloran (Leevale) is set to compete in the 60m against Paul Whelan (Dublin Striders) but his primary event is the 60m hurdles. He is set to advance from here to the national senior indoor championship at Belfast’s Odyssey Arena next month when he can claim that title too.
