European Indoor Championships
The Irish squad competed well at the European Indoor Athletics championships in Poland last weekend.
Despite no medals, there were some very encouraging performances amongst a young team, notably by finalists Phil Healy (400m), Sean Tobin (3000m), and by young stars Cian McPhillips of Longford AC over 800m and Sarah Lavin in the hurdles.
Athletics Ireland high performance director, Galway’s Paul McNamara will be aiming for this squad to further develop over the busy championship period ahead this year and next with Olympics, World and European championships all on the cards over the next 18 months.
