Barr sets new National Record

Just a week before he defends his title at the Le Chéile International, Thomas Barr finished 4th at the Rome Diamond League and, in doing so, lowered his own National Record for the 400m Hurdles to 48.65secs. This improves on the mark of 48.90secs that Thomas set in Geneva in June 2014, and further strengthens his position as European Number 1. Barr will be hoping to go even quicker when he takes to the track in Leixlip on Saturday and, with a high-quality field assembled, there is every possibility we will see more fireworks in the one-lap hurdles!

Entry to the Le Chéile International is FREE OF CHARGE for all spectators. Events kick off on Saturday 13th June at 2.30pm at the Leixlip Amenities Centre. So why not come along to see what promises to be a spectacular afternoon of world-class athletics?
