Fifth place also for Daire Finn in the final of the junior 800m, Cliona Murphy in the 1500 under 23 final and Caoimhe Lynam in her heat of the junior 400m. Alison Armstrong came 2nd in the junior steeplechase , Clare Brennan came 3rd in the 1500m under 23, Pierre Murchan came 3rd in the junior 1500m and Finn Burke power came 6th in the final of the junior 400.

Well done everyone.
Pierre confirmed for world juniors.
Great news just released that Pierre has been selected for the Irish team to compete at the world junior track and field championships in Poland later this month. He will run in the 5000m.
