Darragh McElhinney (UCD AC) smashed his own National U23 3000m Record to 7:42.86 while competing at the Meeting Internazionale Citta' di Nembro, in Italy this evening. McElhinney crossed the line first ahead of Italy's own Ossama Meslek and Burundi's Egide Ntakarutimana.  

McElhinney set the previous record 7:44.01 while competing at Cork City Sports last month. The record put him eighth on the Irish All Time List behind Marcus O’Sullivan’s 1989 performance of 7:42.53.
