Last weekend the Irish men’s and women’s teams competed in the First League of the European Team Championships in Crete. The Irish team had their best ever performance in the competition, finishing 6th overall. A valuable 10 points were won for the team by Leevale’s Michelle Finn, who put in a battling performance in the 3000m steeplechase to finish 3rd in 9:53.
Michelle is in top form at the moment and she is inching ever closer to the 9:44 qualifying mark for the World Championships.
