Carroll joins Cragg on hot 3,000m ticket

FIVE athletes have been added to the Irish team for the European Indoor Championships in Madrid next month.

Amongst them is the 2000 champion Mark Carroll, who will join world number one Alistair Cragg in the 3000m.

Last week Cragg (Clonliffe Harriers) continued his recent excellent indoor form with another victory over the distance at the Tyson Invitational meeting in Arkansas.
