Martin Fagan
Donore’s supervet Jim McNamara ran a super 44.09 in the Duleek 10km – a new M75 record. Only a week earlier Jim Mac had set a new 5000m record at the Irish Masters in Tullamore. Winners of the race were Gary O’Hanlon and Patrycja Wlodarcyzk.
MARTIN FAGAN had a comfortable victory in 14 mins 11 secs at the Castlepollard 5km last Wednesday evening. Freddy Keron Sittuk of Raheny was second and Jarlath Byrne third with these three pulling away from the pack early. Maullingar Harriers beat Raheny Shamrock by a single point to take the team prize. First woman was Fiona Gettings.
AT THE Donegal Quadrathlon (4 marathons in 4 days), Raheny’s David Brady ran his 400th marathon on the second day of this four-marathon event.
