    I know Robinson has been up in Font Romeu recently. I dont think Costello was there but he has been altitude training in South America in the past

    Sean Connolly also in the field (4.02 miler himself)

    Pity they dont have a full starting line up for this

    Also no Travers which is a pity (3.42 1500m this year)

    Mark English in 3.59 from what I heard from the races (was't there myself so cant confirm but could be New Junior Irish Mile record) and Sean Connolly 4.00.17 Not bad for a marathon runner

    Amy Foster equalled the Northern Ireland record in her race, 11.49. Kelly Proper also had a PB in that race. Jason Smyth ran sub 21 for the first time in the 200, 20.94. Chris Russell also had a PB here, 21.11. PB for Ciara Mageean and confirmation she is back to her best. All in all a memorable night with the Mile the highlight.
