Mary Cullen of Sligo AC and DSD’s Joe Sweeney have both withdrawn from the senior teams for the European Cross Country next month. Cullen has struggled with her fitness in recent months; she is replaced by Maria McCambridge of DSD. Sweeney hasn’t recovered from his efforts in the Dublin Marathon and Mick Clohisey of Raheny Shamrock will take his place.
American-based Sarah Collins, whose family comes from Cork, is out of the junior women’s team due to a “medical condition”. Collins had a disappointing run at the NCAA Championships last weekend; she was third after 2km, but faded to finish 38th.
She is replaced by Isabelle Odlum of DSD, who joins four other members of the Dublin club on the junior team.
