Athletics Ireland are delighted to announce a squad of over 50 athletes including a full set of relay teams for the European Athletics Championships in Amsterdam on July 6-10.
Thomas Barr (Ferrybank), Ciara Mageean (UCD) and Fionnuala McCormack (Kilcoole) are three of the leading names in the large Irish contingent but it may be in the half marathon team race where the main medal chances lie.
Barr has just returned from injury and made his season debut at the GloHealth National Senior Track and Field Championships on the weekend where he triumphed in 50.28 seconds. He will be using the European Championships as another stepping stone to get back into full fitness.
“I improved a lot over the weekend and I need to races to get back to my best,” said Barr who made the semi-final at the Europeans in Zurich in 2014. “I’ll be looking to step up another level at the Europeans.”
Two-time European Cross Country champion Fionnuala McCormack has been training at altitude in Font Romeu and finished 8th at the last Europeans. She will be aiming to place higher this time around having finished an agonising fourth in 2012.
European 800m bronze medallist Mark English (UCD) has decided not to compete at the championships having just returned from injury. He won his fourth 800m national title on the weekend and will gear his training towards the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
Ciara Mageean will compete over 1500m and is looking forward to having an impact at the championships. “I’m really looking forward to going to the Europeans and getting in the mix,” said Mageean who won a world junior silver medal in 2010.
Full relay teams
A full quota of relay teams will be sent to the European Championships which High Performance Director Kevin Ankrom is particularly pleased about.
“It’s the first time in our history to have full relay teams at the championships and we’ve been working hard to develop a relay culture,” said Ankrom.
The men’s 4x400m relay team includes two-time European indoor 400m champion David Gillick (DSD) who finished third at the national championships in a pulsating race where six men ran 46 seconds. Brian Gregan (Clonliffe Harriers) won that race and he will be aiming to at least match his semi-final performance at the last Europeans. The men’s 4x400m finished an excellent 5th at the Europeans in 2014.
The men’s half marathon team will be spearheaded by Paul Pollock (Annadale Striders) who finished 14th at the World Half Marathon Championships in 62:46. If he can match that type of performance he would lead a strong Irish challenge for team medals which also includes Mick Clohisey (Raheny Shamrock) and Kevin Seaward (St Malachy’s).
The team sees an excellent blend of developing athletes such as Siofra Cleirigh Buttner (DSD)in the 800m and Marcus Lawler (SLOT) in the 200m alongside the return of experienced campaigners such as Mary Cullen (North Sligo) in the 5,000m who won a European indoor bronze medal over 3,000m in 2009.
“I’m very pleased to have selected such a large squad of athletes. We’ve had some injuries with athletes pushing the boat out to reach new levels but they are now coming around. Our best chance of a medal may lie in the men’s half marathon team while we have a good blend of developing athletes and experience."

Barr has been battling back to fitness and made his season debut in the heats on Saturday running 52.03 and improved considerably in the final to win his sixth national title.
“All I need is races,” said Barr who confirmed he will run in the European Athletics Championships from July 6-10. The full team will be announced officially tomorrow. “I improved two seconds from the heats to the final and I hope I can keep going that way.” Jason Harvey (Crusaders) finished strongly for silver in 51.30 with Ben Kiely (Ferrybank) nabbing the bronze in 51.47.
Mark English (UCD) bagged his fourth national 800m title in 1:51.48 but will skip the Europeans to work on his fitness for the Olympics. The championships for the Donegal man were a similar scenario to Barr’s. “I’m happy with that and now I’ll get working towards Rio,” said English. Declan Murray (Clonliffe Harriers) was second in 1:51.70 with Karl Griffin (UCD) third in 1:51.83.
Siofra Cleirigh Buttner (DSD) dominated the women’s 800m passing through 400m in 58 seconds to win in 2:04.72 ahead of Louise Shanahan (Leevale) second in 2:10.02 with Alanna Lally (UCD) third in 2:10.28.
The men’s and women’s 400m races brought the championships to a crescendo. Brian Gregan proved his mettle winning the men’s race in a big season’s best of 46.28 in the final meters. Craig Lynch (Shercock) ran a big personal best in second with 46.40 just holding off a fast finishing David Gillick (DSD) who ran 46.44. The first four men ran a European B standard – Richard Morrissey (Crusaders) ran 46.68 – while six men ran 46 seconds.
Sinead Denny (DSD) showed her battling qualities to win the women’s 400m in 53.64 to hold off Phil Healy (Bandon) in 53.78. Ciara McCallion (Clonliffe Harriers) was third in 54.48.
Jason Smyth (Derry City) and Amy Foster were the fastest over 100m running 10.71 and 11.83 respectively.
Ben Reynolds (North Down) went into the championships in search of a European B qualifier of 13.90 in the 110m Hurdles and he duly delivered winning in 13.89.
Sean Breathnach (Galway City Harriers) bagged three gold medals and one silver in the throws. He won the shot put with 17.34m, the 56lbs weight for height with 4.40m, the 56lbs weight for distance with 7.87m, and silver in the discus with 51.18m. Marco Pons (DMP) won the discus with 53.22m.
Clare Fitzgerald (Tralee Harriers) won double gold in the women’s discus and shot put – she hurled the discus 53.38m and sent the shot out to 15.07m.
Sommer Lecky won the high jump at the Tailteann Games on Saturday and returned to win the senior high jump on Sunday with 1.71m. Jaime Murtagh (Cushinstown) caused a surprise in the men’s high jump winning in 2.10m ahead of Barry Pender (St Abban’s) second with 2.05.
Michelle Finn (Leevale) impressed in the women’s 3,000m steeplechase to win in 9:46.81 with Kerry O’Flaherty (Newcastle) having to settle for second in 9:58.81 – both are bound for Rio in the chase.
John Travers (Donore Harriers) and Ciara Mageean (UCD) won their respective 1500m in tactical fashion. Travers sprinted to victory in 4:01.19 to hold off Eoin Everard (Kilkenny City Harriers) in 4:01.32.
In the women’s race Mageean bided her time before winning comfortably in 4:24.33 to beat last year’s champion Sara Treacy (Dunboyne) who was second in 4:26.10. The Portaferry woman will now go on to the European Championships.
Alex Wright (Leevale) won the men’s 10,000m race walk in 41:11.7.
The importance of winning a national championship was highlighted most by Conor Duffy (Glaslough Harriers) and Lily-Ann O’Hora (Dooneen) who jubilantly celebrated after winning the men’s 5,000m in 14:32.85 and the 100m hurdles in 14.36.

Marcus Lawler (St Laurence O’Toole) and Amy Foster (City of Lisburn) will be the favourites for the men’s and women’s 100m titles.
Lawler, qualified for the European over 200m, has marked himself as Ireland’s leading male sprinter and his next nearest rivals on time in the sizeable entry are Jonathan Browning (Ballymena & Antrim)and Christopher Sibanda (Clonliffe Harriers).
Eanna Madden (Carrick on Shannon) should be Lawler’s closes rival over 200m having clocked 21.03 with Sibanda and Kieran Elliot (North Sligo) among the contenders for the podium.
Amy Foster has European qualification in the 100m and looks set for face competition from Kelly Proper (Ferrybank) who has yet to compete this season, Joan Healy (Bandon), Sarah Murray (Fingallians) and Niamh Whelan (Ferrybank).
Foster isn’t on the entry for the 200m with the aforementioned sprinters bidding for 200m gold along with Stephanie Creaner (Dublin City Harriers) and Cliodhna Manning (Kilkenny City Harriers).
Craig Lynch (Shercock) heads the rankings with a 46.90 clocking but will face strong competition from the one lap specialists looking to vie for relay positions for the Europeans along with an Olympic spot still potentially up for grabs.
David Gillick (DSD) has returned from retirement to good effect and the Clonliffe Harriers trio of Brian Gregan, Timmy Crowe and Dara Kervick will be in the mix while experienced Brian Murphy (Crusaders), Andrew Mellon (Queens/North Down), Adam McComb (North Down), Harry Purcell (Trim) and Zak Curran (DSD) will also be looking to feature in a high-quality line-up.
Similarly in the women’s 400m there is an impressive entry headed by DSD’s Sinead Denny. Places in the final will be hard won with Phil Healy’s (Bandon) transition to the one-lap event in full swing. Other entrants include Ciara McCallion (Clonliffe Harriers A.C.), Susan Scallan, Aisling Drumgoole (both Raheny Shamrock A.C.) and Mollie O’Reilly (DSD).
English’s outdoor debut with women’s duel in store Mark English (UCD) is set to make his outdoor debut this season having been side-lined with injury. Declan Murray (Clonliffe Harriers) has been his closest challenger in recent championships, Robert Tully (Star of the Sea), Kieran Kelly (Raheny Shamrock), Kevin McGrath (Bohermeen), Cillian Kirwan (Raheny Shamrock) and Karl Griffin (UCD) are among the two-lap entrants with speed to burn.
On times it looks like being a direct head-to-head between Rose-Anne Galligan (Newbridge) and Siofra Cleirigh Buttner (DSD)in the women’s 800m with only two hundredths of a second separating them on the season’s list – 2:02.35 to 2:02.37. Both athletes will be looking to run fast and secure a second European B standard to get to Amsterdam. Laura Crowe (An Riocht) and Erin McIlveen (City of Lisburn) will also be in the mix.
Mageean set to sharpen up; Everard heads men’s 1500m list Eoin Everard (Kilkenny City Harriers), Tomas Cotter (Dunleer), John Travers (Donore Harriers) and Sean Tobin (Clonmel), and Joe Warne (Doheny) are among the men’s leading metric milers. Everard won the 1,500m and the 3,000m indoors and the Kilkenny physio will be looking to keep up his golden streak. Ciara Mageean (UCD) won the national title with ease last year and impressed with a gun to tape victory over 800m in 2:02.84 at the Ulster and Northern Ireland Championships last week. She is rounding into shape with the Europeans and Olympics on the horizon. Mary Cullen (North Sligo) looks set to drop down in distance while evergreen Kelly Neely (City of Lisburn) will be in contention.
With David McCarthy (West Waterford) not looking likely to compete, Colm Sheahan (Leevale), Thomas Moran (Dunshauglin), Freddy Keron Sittuk (Raheny Shamrock) and Conor Bradley (City of Derry) are among an open men’s 5,000m field in search of a first national senior title.
Deirdre Byrne (Sli Cualann) has gradually made her way back to the upper echelons of Irish women’s distance running and currently holds one B standard for the Europeans. A sub 15:40 will see her book a ticket to Amsterdam. Shona Heaslip (An Riocht A.C.), Siobhan O'Doherty (Borrisokane A.C.), Tara Jameson (Sli Cualann A.C.) and Annmarie McGlynn (Letterkenny A.C.) are among the contenders.
A competitive field in the men’s 10,000m sees Ballina’s Hugh Armstrong as the fastest on the Irish rankings list this season with 29:16.73 but Mick Clohisey (Raheny Shamrock) would edge the consistency and will be looking for one better than his silver medal last year. Last year’s champion Mark Christie (Mullingar Harriers) is entered and there are a number of runners in contention for the national title and medals with quite a deep field this year including Brandon Hargreaves (DSD), Gary Thornton (Galway City Harriers), Tomas Fitzpatrick (Tallaght) and Michael Harty (East Cork).
Rory Chesser (Ennis Track) has been a prolific winner of the men’s steeplechase crown and he will look to add to his tally this weekend where he may face opposition from Tomas Cotter (Dunleer) who has a European B standard. Others who may have an impact include David Flynn (Clonliffe Harriers) and Emmet Jennings (DSD).
Olympic steeplechasers Kerry O'Flaherty (Newcastle & District AC), Michelle Finn (Leevale A.C.) and Sara Treacy (Dunboyne A.C) will be looking for bragging rights with O’Flaherty also looking to secure European selection.
Thomas Barr (Ferrybank) makes his season debut and will be pushed by his training partner Paul Byrne (St Abban’s). Others in the hunt for medals include Ben Kiely (Ferrybank) and Ciaran Barnes (City of Lisburn) Christine McMahon (Ballymena & Antrim) is the favourite to retain her national title having recently qualified for the European Championships and just .22 off the Olympic A standard with Jessie Barr (Ferrybank) looking to run a European standard. Arlene Crossan (Finn Valley) impressed in the Schools’ Championships and will look to crack 60 seconds.
North Down’s Ben Reynolds will be the favourite for the high hurdles and needs a time of 13.90 or faster to garner selection for the Europeans. Carrick-on-Shannon’s Gerard O’Donnell has been his nearest rival in recent times but has withdrawn due to injury. This leaves the door open for Matthew Behan (Crusaders), Tom Reynolds (North Down) and Garbhan McKenna (Shercock) to battle out for the minor medals.
Lily Ann O’Hora (Dooneen), Catherine McManus (Dublin City Harriers) and Naomi Morgan (City of Derry) are the main protagonists entered in the women’s 100m hurdles and it looks like a duel between O’Hora and McManus for the gold.
Ian Rogers (Clonliffe Harriers), Yuri Kinash (West Waterford), Thomas Houlihan (West Waterford) are some of the form athletes going into the men’s pole vault but stalwart David Donegan (Clonliffe Harriers) can’t be ruled out.
Tori Pena (Finn Valley) has European and Olympic qualification secured and will be confident of adding the national title to her resume this season. Laura Cussen (Old Abbey A.C) Ruth Larragy (Le Cheile A.C.) have both vaulted 3.00m this year and will be in a battle for silver.
Denis Finnegan (An Riocht) is the only 15m jumper in the men’s field and should add to his medal haul while Niall Counihan (Dooneen) and Alan Kennedy (North Down) will be looking to get on the podium.
Saragh Buggy (St Abban’s) has been in scintillating form this season breaking the national U23 triple jump record on two occasions with her most recent mark of 13.25m at the England Athletics U23 Championships a big breakthrough. Laura Saulters (North Down AC), Maria Carey (Newport A.C.) and Fiona Hill (Newbridge A.C.) are the other leading entrants.
Adam McMullen (Crusaders) has been impressing in the sprints as well as the runway and he looks set to be unchallenged if he keep up his impressive form with a best of 7.84m this year. Junior Keith Marks (Clonliffe Harriers) made an impressive leap forward with 7.48m and last year’s European junior finalist, Sam Healy (Leevale), is also entered along with Raheny Shamrock’s consistent Colm Bourke.
Sarah McCarthy (Mid Sutton)just edges Imelda Morrison (Youghal) on the rankings list, 6.00m to 5.96m while Kelly Proper (Ferrybank) is also entered for the long jump. Saragh Buggy (St Abban’s) and Vivian Fleishcher (Celbridge) should also be in the mix.
European bound Barry Pender (St Abban’s) will be aiming to leap to the national title. Other leading jumpers include Andrew Heney (Clonliffe), Jamie Murtagh (Cushinstown) and David Cussen (Old Abbey)
Finn Valley’s young starlet Sommer Lecky has a best of 1.78m this season and the European Youth medallist will be favoured for the senior title. DSD’s Grace O’Rourke is another contender with Katherine O'Connor (Dundalk St. Gerards A.C.), Anna McIlmoyle (City of Lisburn AC) and Shannon Sheehy (Cushinstown A.C.) among the leading entries.
Sean Breathnach (Galway City Harriers) is getting better with age and will look to add outdoor gold to his national indoor title. He has a best of 18.22m. His brother Michael will also look to feature but Finn Valley’s John Kelly is next on the list with 16.16m and he won the Northern Ireland and Ulster title last week. James Kelly (Crusaders) and Patrick McSweeney (Bandon) will also look to be in the mix.
Clare Fitzgerald (Tralee Harriers) is the women’s favourite with a best of 15.68m this season with rising star Micheale Walsh (Swinford) having recently set a national junior record of 15.15m. Other main entrants are Laura Mc Sweeney (Bandon A.C.) and Alana Frattaroli (Limerick A.C.)
Killian Barry (Crusaders) and Padraig White (Dunboyne) are the leading men’s entrants in the hammer while there is a big women’s entry with Cara Kennedy (Ferrybank) leading the pack with a best of 59.86m. Emma O’Hara (Galway City Harriers), Michaela Walsh (Swinford) and Lauren O’Keeffe (Donore Harriers) are among the 17-strong entrants.
Sean Breathnach will look to add discus gold should Colin Quirke (Crusaders) or Marco Pons (DMP Wexford) not compete with Rolus Olusa (Donore Harriers) and Anu Awonusi (St Laurence O’Toole) among those developing in the event.
Clare Fitzgerald is way ahead of the pack in the women’s discus with 55.05m this season. Kayleigh Cronin (Farranfore Maine Valley A.C.) and Kathy Hetherington (North Down A.C.) will be among those looking to medal.
Rory Gunning (Clonliffe Harriers), Shane Joyce (Cushinstown) and Sean Mc Bride (Lifford Strabane AC) are the leading javelin males with Gunning the favourite for gold.
Anita White Fitzgibbon (DSD) continues to set the standard in the women’s javelin and is a shoe-in for gold. Orlaith O’Brien (Waterford) is ahead of the chasing pack which includes Grace Casey (Eire Og Corra Choill A.C.) and Michaela Walsh (Swinford).
Olympic bound Alex Wright (Leevale A.C.) and Brendan Boyce (Letterkenny A.C.) lead the men’s 10,000m race walk with Wright looking to retain his national title. Laura Reynolds (Mohill), who competed in the Olympics in 2012 is one of the leading women’s 5,000m entrants.
Australian distance runner Collis Birmingham has confirmed that he will return to Leeside for the 65th Cork City Sports to attempt to win the 3000m event for the third time. He previously won the 3000m race in 2012 & 2013.
Collis Birmingham is one of Australia’s best runners. The 30-year-old, Ballarat resident has twice competed in the Olympic Games in 2008 in Beijing as well as the 2012 London edition. The former Australian 10,000-metre record holder has competed six times during the IAAF World Cross Country Championships, once as a junior and three times in the IAAF World Track and Field Championships.

Niamh McCarthy, Eagle AC, representing Ireland at the IPC European Paralympic Championships, in Grosetto, Italy, claimed the Silver medal, behind Poland's Renata Sliwinska, in an extremely competitive competition, during which Niamh twice broke the European F41 record.
The Championship is decided on a point basis, so while Niamh was in the F41 category, the Polish athlete was competing in the F40 category, so Niamh required a considerably longer throw to overcome the Pole.
Niamh threw a European record of 25.45m in Round 2, and improved this by a huge margin, in Round 3, to another European Record of 27:05m, which put her into the lead. Niamh's fourth round throw was 26.98m , however the points system put the Pole back in the lead, by 15 points.
The final standings saw Renata Sliwinska, Poland, take Gold, with a throw of 16.78m, earning her 848 points, while Niamh's 27.05m earned her the Silver, just 17 points behind the Gold Medal performance.
