Hoping faraway hills truly green for next generation

Chances are that, unless you are part of that the minority among us who claim membership of the athletics community, you have never heard of Sanura Eley O’Reilly.

If you haven’t, don’t worry, that will probably change.

O’Reilly represented the USA at the World Junior Athletics Championships in 2010 but will wear a green singlet the next time she takes to such a grand stage. Born in Ireland, brought up in the States and with an Irish dad and American mum, she has already trained with the 4x400m squad.
