Kourosh Foroughi of DCU set a new record of 2.12 for the men’s high jump at the Irish Universities Track and Field Championships hosted – for the first time ever – by Waterford IT.
The weekend’s other records both fell to DCU in the relays – 3:16.00 in the men’s 4x400m and 46.12 secs in the women’s 4 x 100m. DCU won both men and women’s team titles and finished best overvall college, with UCD a distant second.
Other highlights of the competition, which began yesterday, included victories for UCD’s Ciara Everard in the 1500m and for Phil Healy in the 100m. Sarah Lavin of UCD won the 200m, while Catherine McManus of DCU took the 100m hurdles.
Marcus Lawler of IT Carlow won both the 100m and 200m, and was on course for a third medal in the 4x100m when a disastrous third change over handed victory to DCU. Carlow did their best to recover but their last leg runner was disqualified for running out of his lane. In the men’s 400m, DCU’s Dara Kerwick beat teammate Timmy Crowe, winning in 47.60 secs.
For Trinity College, Maria O’Sullivan won both the 3000m and the 5000m. John Travers of AIT strolled to victory in the men’s 5000m in a time of 14 mins 54.66 secs.
NOEL BERKELEY paid a visit to Dublin and led home 6.17 finishers at the Marlay Parkrun in 16 mins 22 secs – not bad for an M45! Hill runner Peter O’Farrell was a distant second in 17:40.
ANN MARIE MCGLYNN of Lifford finished first woman and eighth overall in 16 mins 38 secs at the Patsy Kelly 5km in Dundalk. Winner was Peter Brandon in 14 mins 47 secs.
PETER MOONEY and Charlotte Kearney were the winners of the popular K Club BHAA 10km in Straffan, Co Kildare.
