Reece’s 7.76m also moves him to fourth place on the all-time standings, behind Ciarán McDonagh’s senior record of 8.07m, set in 2005. Reece'soutdoing his previous 7.68m record, set just last month in Cork.
Reece went into the event in top form, having won the National Under-20 Title and finishing in fifth place at the National Senior Championships recently. He set his previous best of 7.68m, set at last month's Cork City Sports
Afterwards Reece said “I’m shocked, to be honest, but delighted,” he said. “It’s big adrenaline for tomorrow. I’ll get a rest now, come in replenished for tomorrow and just kick ass.”
