Alex Wright wins 10k but sprinters steal show at Leevale Sports
Wright (Leevale) won his event comfortably in 41:32 and will now compete over 20k in Podebrady, Czech Republic in two weeks’ time. The Cork-based athlete has been in fine form in 2017 as he gears up for a big performance at the World Championships in London in August.
Newport’s Sharlene Mawdsley is another to have continued her rise in 2017 and the 18-year-old schoolgirl won the women’s 400m in 55.36 — a European U20 B qualifying time.
