from AAI website David Campbell and Andrew Ledwith in good form Updated
David Campbell did his fastest running in the last quarter of the Great North Mile and closed fast on the two leaders, passing Olympic steeplechase champion Kipruto on the line, but failing by a stride to catch winner Mo Farah.
In the US Andrew Ledwith had an excellent first race of the season to finish second in the Paul Short meet; David McCarthy dipped under 24 minutes for 12th place in Notre Dame; and Conor Dooney made his debut for Yale.
Martin Fagan was in good company when finishing sixth in the Great North Run this morning with some well known names behind him. His time was a creditable 62.20.

Finn Valley invitational primary schools cross country
THe numbers were bigger than ever the weather was fine and organisation was first class . I am talking about the 10th annual Finn Valley invitational primary schools cross country held friday . Yes close to 700 children enjoyed their day out and competed with great fervour underlining what is an excellent event . THey came from Carndonagh in the north ,Annagry in the WEst and Killybegs in the South and there was the usual welcome mix of East Donegal schools .Studying results you note that Leanne Kelly , Tooban beat her cousin Arlene Crossan ,Lurgybrack;that Jade O donnell ,Annagry stayed out in front of Tara Kate Harley Scvoil Mhuire, Letterkenny;That Conor Morrison Gael Scoil ,Letterkenny fought off the challenge of Jonathan Carlin,Lifford ;That Pat Loughrey Scoil Iosagain won and led his team to victory under 9.And so it was one of those most enjoyable days that will build and build in popularity and support as there are a vast number of schools out there that simply ignore the opportunity to participate hard to understand in this day and age .
