Ireland’s cross-country Euro stars set to take on the world in Poland

Athletics Ireland High Performance Director Kevin Ankrom last night confirmed that a women’s team will compete at the World Cross Country Championships in Poland next month.

Though Ireland claimed team gold in the European championships in December, there was huge doubt about the availability of members of that team for the event in Bydgoszcz.

However Ankrom last night revealed that Fionnuala Britton, Linda Byrne, Ava Hutchinson and Lizzie Lee have all been pre-selected.
