Alison Burke competed in the National combined events in Tullamore on Saturday. She had a great day and was only heartbreakingly 20 points off a bronze medal. She was 3rd in the hurdles, did 1.46 in the high jump, did a very good long jump, her shot is her weak event but a fabolous 2nd in the 800m put her right back in the rankings. This result gives Alison great encouragement for her future at this event. Well done!
