Byrne to compete in Dublin

Irish cross-country champion Jolene Byrne has made a late decision to compete in Saturday’s Great BUPA Ireland Run in Dublin.

The 29-year-old American-born athlete was expected to miss the 10-kilometre event in Phoenix Park after competing in last weekend’s European Cup 10,000 metres track meeting. But Byrne, a creditable fifth in Barakaldo, feels she has recovered.
