Promising Cullen on the right track

RAY TREACY, Director of Track and Field at Providence College, was thrilled with the performance of protégé Mary Cullen at the European cross-country championships in Tilburg.

“She was right up there in fourth position at one stage and was fifth going out on the final lap of the senior race. Were it not for the fact that she fell I believe she would have been higher up but, under the circumstances, 11th was a great finish for her,” said Treacy.

Cullen was plagued by a series of stress fractures during her early years at Providence but is now enjoying an injury free spell and reaching her full potential
