Injury puts Sonia out of nationals

SONIA O’SULLIVAN misses the Woodies DIY National senior track and field championships at Morton Stadium at the weekend.

The Olympic silver medallist was declared for the 5,000m but on the advice of Gerard Hartmann has opted for treatment on her injured foot.

David Gillick and Paul Hession are unlikely to compete but the AAI is likely to name them on the team for the world championships, pending fitness tests, when the squad is announced on Monday.
