| John Coghlan Dublin champion |
John Coghlan of the Metro St Brigid’s club won the senior men’s race at the Dublin Cross-Country Championships in Santry today (Sun). Coghlan, the youngest son of former world 5000m champion Eamonn, was part of the winning Irish U-23 team at last year’s European Cross-Country Championships. Over the summer, he took 1500m silver at the National Track and Field Championhips – his first senior medal.
At Santry, Coghlan tucked in behind the early pacemaker, Sean Hehir of Rathfarnham WSAF, only taking over in front on the final lap.
Clonliffe’s David Flynn, on a break from scholarship in East Tennessee, was a fighting third, ahead of mountain runner Brian McMahon of Clonliffe and MSB’s Liam Tremble. In sixth place Cillian O’Leary was leading Raheny Shamrock to team victory – the club’s third of the day.
Not defending his title was DSD’s Joe Sweeney, the current Irish champion. He withdrew his entry during the week, as did his clubmate Alan McCormack who is injured.
Raheny dominated the women’s race, with Elish Kelly of Raheny Shamrock beating clubmates Aoife Talty and the evergreen Annette Kealy for the individual gold and the trio along with Fiona Roche also taking team gold. In the men’s junior race, Raheny also made it a team and individual double, with Kevin Dooney the winner ahead of DSD’s much improved James Egan.
Siofra Cleirigh Buttner of DSD won the junior women’s race, ahead of her clubmates Claire McCarthy and Sorcha Humphries, but due to a mix-up over numbers, the medals weren’t awarded.
* Juvenile results now up on the Dublin Athletics Board website. Ella Fennelly and Liam Fitzpatrick made it a DSD under 16 double; DSD teams won five of the eight races held.
