John Travers finished up his American ‘tour’ of the indoor track season in the best possible way, with a new indoor PB in the 1500m.  John toed the line at the prestigious Millrose games at the New York Armory (scene of many Irish track triumphs in the 80s and 90s).  In the Armory invitational mile in a quality field, John finished 6th in another sub 4 minute time of 3.58.10.  This comes after his impressive 3000m showing the week before where he also PB’d.

Back in Ireland there were impressive runs by two Donore athletes at the popular Armagh international road races which attract many high calibre runners from abroad.  Darragh Fitzgibbon was a super 2nd in the open 3k running 8.50.81 and Sam Allen got a PB in the 5k race with a time of 16.05.51.

Sinead Lambe had another impressive 800m race, she guested in the Connacht indoors at the Athlone arena and came 4th in her race in 2.23
