Another strong day of results for the Irish team included wins for Sarah Lavin, Thomas Barr and Louise Shanahan.
TEAM IRELAND HAVE moved to the top of the Division 3 table following the second day of athletics action at the European Games in Poland.
The day’s action got off to the ideal start for the Irish with both male and female sprint hurdlers delivering victories which secured a maximum 15 points. Cork teenager James Ezeonu was a convincing winner of the Men’s 110m Hurdles while Limerick’s Lavin looked utterly dominated as she cruised to victory in the Women’s 100m Hurdles race.Lavin’s time of 12.82 is the second fastest ever in her career and just 0.
“Today was all about getting the win. I’m delighted to come away with maximum points for the team and fingers crossed that if we all do our bit it’ll be enough to get us over the line,” the Cork woman said. “It’s a great honour. Both myself and Phil have said that we’re honoured to be leading out such a team because I can remember back to when my first Team Championships was and looking up to other athletes like David Gillick. It’s nice to be in a position now with all the experience I have to help anyone I can along the way.”
