World Youths, European Under 23, Woodie's DIY Juvenile As the European U23 championships draw to an end there was disappointment yesterday as Andrew Ledwith, no doubt feeling the effects of his American season, finished 19th in the 10,000m. Sharon Heveran was 10th in the high jump with a season's best of 1.82m Rose Ann Galligan, another athlete after a long American season, joins Linda Byrne in the final of the 1,500m later today. At the World Youths championships everything that could go wrong did go wrong as he failed to register a mark in his discus qualifying group And there was more bad news as Alistair Cragg dropped ot of the 5,000m in Rome on Friday night. David Gillick was eight in the 400m in 45.81, someway off his Irish record.
