Well done to Sean Donoghue on a fantastic win in the 1500m at the National juniors in Santry this evening. This adds the outdoor junior title to the indoor 1500 he won in February. Conditions in Santry weren’t pretty but with the result being decided over two races there was no time for messing around. The first race was nippy enough so the athletes in Sean’s race knew they had to run fast.
Sean didn’t put a foot wrong from the start and was never out of the top three throughout. Despite strong pressure coming on the last lap he just put the foot down and cruised away for a very decisive victory. Great running! Well done!
