From RTE sports Amy Foster (City of Lisburn AC) put in a stellar performance at the National Senior Indoor Track and Field Championships in Athlone to win the women’s 60m final in 7.32secs.
This time was also the qualification standard for the World Indoor Track and Field Championships in Sopot, Poland in March. Phil Healy (Bandon AC) was second with 7.37secs, with Niamh Whelan third (7.65secs).
“The aim was to come out here and win and I achieved that. I knew to win I needed to run fast as Phil Healy has been in flying form,” Foster said after the race.
“I didn’t have the best of starts but my pick-up and finish were good and overall I’m really happy with the race. It was great to get the PB and the qualification time for the world indoors – it’s a pretty perfect day.”
Kelly Proper (Ferrybank AC) added the 200m title to add to her long jump title from Saturday, setting a new personal best and stadium record of 23.56secs.
