Darragh Graham clocks 10.91 The 3000m walk at the Yellow Pages Ultimate Athletics Series in Potchefstroom South Africa on February 2nd was a good competitive race held at 1600m altitude and in 28 degrees. Colin Griffin led from the start, pushing the group at 4 min per km pace, and he held this all the way . Augstyn Rafael passed him on the last lap but the Ballinamore man battled on to comfortably hold second spot.
