Gregan wins with ‘shocking run’

Brian Gregan sprinted to victory in 21.05 seconds in the 200m at a lack-lustre Woodie’s DIY AAI Open Games yesterday that was designed as a dry run for the European Team Championships in Morton Stadium.

“It was shocking,” said Gregan after his run that was delayed due to an official being knocked out in the warm-up area in a collision with an athlete.

“I wasn’t properly warmed and I’m still shook up,” said the Clonliffe Harrier who witnessed the incident. “I couldn’t race properly.”
