Clonliffe’s Brian Gregan won his first outdoors 400m of the year at the International Flanders Meet in Oordegen, Belgium on Saturday. His time of 45.82 put him comfortably clear of France’s Mame-Ibra Anne who ran 46.26 and Andrew Steele of Great Britain in 46.79. Winning the women’s 400m was Shauna Cannon in 54.91; even faster was Sinead Denny who won the “pre-programme” 400m in 54.24. Rory Chesser of Ennis TC finished third in the 5000m in 14:12.13.
In the 400m hurdles, Jason Harvey ran a personal best 50.27 for third place, while Mark English of Letterkenny was second in the 800m in 1:46.82.
Laura Crowe of Riocht tops the Irish rankings after running 4:12.25 to win the 1500m A race at the BMC Meet in Sports City – a new personal best. Stephen Scullion finished third in the 5000m in a PB of 13.58.55. Midweek, Tomas Rauktys set a new Clonliffe club record of 55.64 for the discus also throwing 17.17 in the shot.
In Geneva, Sarah Lavin broke Derval O’Rourke’s Irish junior record for the 100m hurdles with a time of 13.45. Steven Colvert’s time of 20.94 n the 200m was enough to qualify him for the World Student Games.
In Sardinia a day later, Ciara Everard of UCD ran 2:05.05 for her season opener.
Looks like the battle for places on the Irish squad for the European Team Championships at Santry on June 22-23 is already well underway!
