Bronze for Ailis McSweeney in Sheffield

Ailis McSweeney continued her great start to the year with a bronze medal at the UK indoor championships in Sheffield today. Her 7.38 time in the semi final was an agonising one hundredth of a second outside the qualifying standard for the World indoor championships next month.

Another Cork runner, Joe Warne, set a new PB when finishing fifth in the 800m final.

Deirdre Byrne set a new PB for3,000m when finishing fifth in the final.

At the Scottish underage championships Niamh Whelan recorded a 60m/200m double and her time of 24.54 for 200m was a new PB as well as being inside the qualifying standard for the World junior championships in July.
