20 STRONG IRISH TEAM SET FOR EUROPEAN UNDER 18 CHAMPIONSHIPS

A team of 20 athletes from all 4 provinces are set to represent Ireland at the European U18 Championships in Jerusalem, Israel from July 4th to 7th 2022

This will be the third edition of these championships, and the first edition since the championships were hosted in Hungary in 2018. The 2022 edition promises to be ultra-competitive with 991 athletes from 48 countries set to battle it out

This year’s U18 championships will prove hugely beneficial in development of the Irish athletes, coming on the back of two years of restrictions and cancelled competitions for this age group

This year’s Irish team is representative of all the track & field disciplines; sprints, hurdles, middle distance, walks, jumps and throws

On the track, Neil Culhane (ACE A.C.) will go into the week boasting a season’s best of 1.52.91 for 800m which would rank him 5th of the 26th entered based on season’s best times

Fintan Dewhirst of Tir Chonaill A.C. also comes here on the back of a tremendously consistent season. His SB of 52.98 would rank him 5th of the 31 entered in the 400m hurdles

Elizabeth Ndudi is one to look out for in the long jump from an Irish perspective, with the DSD athlete having already posted a PB of 6.36m this season which would rank 3rd of the 21 athletes entered in the long jump competition

All four days of the European Athletics U18 Championships will be streamed live on European Athletics
