Bantry's McElhinney races his way into Irish record books

Darragh McElhinney produced an outstanding performance to smash the Irish U20 5000m record in Oordegem, Belgium on Saturday, the Glengariff 18-year-old becoming the first ever Irish junior to break 14 minutes with his clocking of 13:54.10.

That brought him home second behind Belgium’s Mortier Jennen (13:49.28) and carved a whopping 19 seconds off his previous best.
