Foster chasing sprint double in schools international

AMY FOSTER (Glenlola Collegiate School), silver medallist in the 100m at the European Youth Olympics last week, will be back in action at Tullamore on Saturday and hoping for a double in the Schools International between Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales.

Baileboro CS sprinter Gerry O’Reilly, who was desperately unlucky in Italy, missing out on bronze in the 200m by just .03 of a second, is also ready to take on the best of the cross-channel schools sprinters.

Brendan O’Neill (St. Michael’s College) was a winner at the corresponding meet last year and broke a 17 year-old record to claim the title at the Kit Kat Tailteann Inter-Provincial 3,000m title.
