Mageean looks to make mark in Tallinn

FOLLOWING medal successes at the world youth and European U23 championships, Ciara Mageean (City of Lisburn) will be one of the favourites at the women’s European junior 1,500m final in Tallinn on Thursday morning.

She was still an intermediate schoolgirl when she finished 10th in the final of the 1,500m.

Since making her debut at the world junior championships in Bydgoszcz in 2008, she reached the final of the 1,500m at the Commonwealth Games and broke all underage middle distance records including Sonia O’Sullivan’s.
