Boost for Gillick ahead of World Championships

David Gillick has received a huge boost ahead of the World Track and Field Championships as he was today named the Crowne Plaza Athlete of the Month for July.

The Dundrum South Dublin athlete was given the award in recognition of his run at the Meeting de Madrid in early July where he became the first Irish athlete to break the 45 second mark in the 400m, posting a time of 44.77.
