Wicklow athlete hoping for success in Edinburgh

Fionnuala Britton lines out for the Irish team in today's World Cross-Country championships in Edinburgh hoping to improve on her sterling 14th place finish at last year's event.

The Wicklow athlete was Ireland's sole competitor in Kenya 2007, and the cooler Scottish climate will hopefully spur her to greater feats this Sunday. This time around, Britton will be joined by five other Irish female athletes in the senior category in a bid to perhaps emulate the Irish ladies' third place team finish at the event in 2002.
