Wexford, Tipp, Kildare and Sligo combine. A lovely representation of the provinces
Do we need a thread?
Will they not draft adeleke in to play up an age for the final?
Sharlene is tremendous fun
Unlikely they’d risk her prep for the 400m
Big run from Sarah Healy to comfortably finish in 3rd in her heat and qualify for the semi final. Just outside her PB but I doubt she was fully all out. No harm having the experience of running against the best in the world.
Sophie up next
She was very comfortable.
The Irish athletics scene is in danger of becoming a bandwagon with all the talent around.
All aboard.
Lordy, she’s a tall lass
Kate O’Connor with 1.80 in the high jump just 1cm off her PB. Leaves her in 8th overall 134 points down. Shot Putt this evening.
Breeding
an ounce of breeding …
She’s a very laboured style. Faded badly down the home strait.
It’s a horrible style. Thought she was coming to nab 6th but just couldn’t kick on. She’s a year younger than Healy and she’s likely just run a massive PB so you’d hope she’ll learn a lot from it
Mageean up next I think
A 5 second pb for Sophie. She’d have qualified out of the other 2 heats with that time. Massive run from her all the same
Comfortable run from Mageean. She looks in good nick.
