From the AAI website Leading Sligo athletes Emmett Dunleavy and Mary Cullen are the athletics
category winners in the Sligo Weekender Sligo Sports Awards for 2009.

Sligo AC runner Dunleavy, a consistent performer in recent campaigns, is the
‘Athletics-Senior men’s’ winner ­ he was a silver medallist in the men’s
3,000 metres steeplechase final at last year’s AAI Senior Track & Field
Championships of Ireland.

North Sligo’s Cullen, meanwhile, an established international competitor won
bronze last March in Turin when superbly finishing third in the women’s
3,000 metres event at the EAA European Indoor Championships.

Cullen, a regular recipient at the Sligo Sports Awards, and Dunleavy will be
honoured ­ along with 16 other category winners ­ at the 13th annual Sligo
Sports Awards, organised by Sligo Weekender in association with the Clarion
Hotel, which take place on Friday, February 26, at Sligo’s Clarion Hotel.
