from AAI website New record for Kelly Proper in Amsterdam – Irish teams second in Celtic Games Kelly Proper capped a marvellous season when she broke the long standing Irish long jump record at the Amsterdam Open in Holland last evening.
After breaking the Irish under 23 record a couple of weeks ago it was only a matter of time before she added the senior record, and that gives her a clean sweep of records – junior, under 23 and senior.
She opened her latest competition with an impressive 6.57m only to find that the wind was over the legal limit at 2.1m/s. She followed up with 6.26m before jumping 6.51m, but that too was over the legal limit. She broke her fourth attempt before jumping 6.44m and then capped a great evening with a jump of 6.51m with a following wind of 1.8m/s to break Terri Horgan’s 1992 record of 6.48m.
In Scotland Athletics Ireland won the boys under 16 competition and the girls under 18 competition at the annual Celtic Games competition. However, they had to settle for second overall, just seven points behind Wales – just one point behind in the girls total and six points adrift in the boys combined total.
