The Sligo Champion

O’Donnell delivers at All Irelands

-

Ireland’s young athlete of the minute Christophe­r O Donnell ran a superb race at the weekend to win the senior boys 400 Metres at the All Ireland National Schools Championsh­ips in Tullamore. Christophe­r was defending his title and did so with top class running from gun to tape in another excellent time 47.75.

On a day of very changeable weather the 400M final was delayed due to a downpour.

This certainly didn’t help the athletes and probably was the decisive factor in denying O Donnell the National Schools record of 47.66 set by the excellent Brian Gregan.

Nonetheles­s, this win confirmed Christophe­r’s excellent form this season.

It will now be back to training for the young Sligo athlete as he prepares for the European Junior Championsh­ips in Italy this July.
