Our women's 4x100m relay team put in a super performance this afternoon (May 11th) in Yokohama to finish 10th overall at the IAAF World Relays. The team finished 6th in the third heat which also provided the two fastest losers. The 44.02 time produced by the young Irish team was faster than one of the finalists which augers very well for qualification for Tokyo 2020.
