Ciara Neville, 15, is shining star after National Indoor Championships performance

Emerald’s Ciara Neville announced herself as a star of the future at the GloHealth National Indoor Championships in Athlone as current stars Mark English and Kelly Proper continued their dominance.

There were a number of quality performances, including two European indoor standards for Adam McMullen (Crusaders) in the long jump with 7.80m and Dara Kervick (Clonliffe Harriers) in the 400m with 46.53.

But it was Neville, just 15, who caught the eye with two second-placed finishes in the 60m and the 60m hurdles — her 7.45 seconds in the 60m semi-final set a new national youth record.
