Sinead Diver makes her Big Apple arrival with fifth-place finish

From Mayo to Melbourne, and now making it big on the streets of the Big Apple, yesterday’s New York City Marathon proved an arrival of sorts for Sinead Diver.

The 42-year-old from Belmullet finished a superb fifth in the marathon major against a world-class field, clocking 2:26:23 to come home less than four minutes behind race winner Joyciline Jepkosgei of Kenya (2:22:38).
