Ciara Mageean takes back the Irish 800 metres record in Manchester via IrishTimesSport
Mageean now regains the record she had broken in 2020, and now holds the national records over 800m and 1500m, having ran 3.56.63 last September in the latter, taking down Sonia O’Sullivan’s record that had lasted for 27 years.
The 31-year-old, who won European and Commonwealth silver medals last year, is building nicely toward the World Athletics Championships in Budapest in August. Earlier, Adam Nolan set a new national Under-20 record in the 110m hurdles. Nolan took the win at the Leinster junior, senior and masters championships in Carlow in a time of 13.89.
The 18-year-old took 0.06s off his previous personal best and national record that he ran at the Leinster schools track and field championships less than two weeks ago. Prior to this month the record had been held by Matthew Behan , who clocked 13.99 eight years ago in Cork in 2015.
