Young Mayo javelin thrower already up to fourth on the Irish all-time senior list and now bound for the World Under-20 Championships
His 73.72m broke new ground again, moving him to fourth on the Irish all-time senior list and also qualifying him for the World Under-20 Championships. They get under way in Lima, Peru on Tuesday, where Joyce is ranked sixth best among the global entries. The Irish team of 13 athletes in Lima also includes Elizabeth Ndudi, who last summer won the long jump at the European Under-20 Championships. The 19-year-old from Dublin is ranked third best of the entries this week after improving the Irish senior record to 6.68m in Illinois back in April.
“He’s always been good for a word of advice,” said Joyce, “and a good man to look up to. And with the javelin there is always something to work on, something else to learn. My run up is quite good, but I’m trying to work on holding that position for longer.
