Cuddihy doubles up in style

Joanne Cuddihy announced herself as the new star of Irish athletics in Santry today as she added the 400 metres title to the 200m gold she won yesterday at the Woodie's DIY National Track and Field Championships.

The 22-year-old from Kilkenny managed a personal best and championship record time of 51.28 seconds to totally blitz a 400m field which was missing nine-time champion Karen Shinkins due to injury.
