Formidable test for Scullion and Treacy

STEPHEN SCULLION (Wellington College) and Sarah Treacy (King’s Hospital), the newly crowned national junior cross-country champions, bid for more success in the Kit Kat All-Ireland Schools Championships at St Clare’s Sports Ground, DCU, this afternoon.

Scullion will face a difficult task against David McCarthy (St. Augustine’s, Dungarvan) who was in tremendous form at the Munster schools championships.

That race came in the middle of a memorable indoor season. The week before he had outsprinted Ciaran Ó Lionaird in a 1,500m race, in Cardiff, and he had caught the Corkman on the line for second place behind James Nolan in the 1,500m at the national indoor championships, in Belfast.
