Heffernan Odyssey continues with ticket for Paris
The Cork woman, wife of race walking star Robert Heffernan, has been rewarded for her consistent form and her performance two years ago when she made the semi-final of the women’s 400m at the European championships in Turin.
“She has a very strong outdoor standard from 2010,” team manager Patsy McGonagle pointed out. “As well as that she is a key member of what is a very good women’s 4x400m relay team that has qualified for this year’s world championships.”
