Report based on article by Lindie Naughton
In the F60 group, Carmel Parnell of Leevale was winning a
record-breaking tenth title in her first year over 60. She had
started conservatively and had no idea she had won until well after the
race was over. "The visibility wasn't great today and when you move
into a new age group, you're not sure of who you're racing against,"
she said.
Anne Marie McGlynn made a sparkling masters' debut when she ran away
with the women's 6km at the British and Irish Masters Cross-Country
International in Santry today.
With her Letterkenny club-mates Natasha Adams and Fionnuala Diver
second and third, McGlynn was also leading the Irish W35 team to a
resounding victory.
She will return to Santry next weekend to run in the National
Interclubs, where places on the Irish team are at stake. Last year, she
captained the Irish team to the bronze medals at the European
Championships. " My target is a place on the Irish senior team and this
was perfect preparation," she said.
On a great day for the Irish, Pauric McKinney of Inishowen won the
M50 race after a tremendous battle with English and Welsh opposition.
Other good results came from Brian Lynch who won the M60
title ahead of Matt Shields and Paul Elliot; Martin McEvilly of
Galway City Harriers who was first M65 and helped the team to victory
and the winning W45 trio of Jackie Carthy from Kilmore 1st, Raheny's
Annette Kealy 2nd and Carmel Crowley of Bandon third.
