Ryan’s record as Heffernan walks tall

WALKER Robert Heffernan and high jumper Deirdre Ryan produced superb displays at the AAI Indoor Games in Nenagh yesterday.

Heffernan was three seconds outside his national indoor 3,000m record with a 11:15.19 victory while Ryan set a national record of 1.88m.

Heffernan was delighted with the performance. “The record was not a priority,” he stressed. “What was more important to me was my technique and that felt okay.”
