Dan man

Rob Heffernan wins the men's 5,000m walk in a time of 19:06.58mins, faster than last year and his fastest time since 2008 when he set that superb P.B. (18:51.46mins). Jamie Costin was second in 19:35.06mins, a new P.B. I think, and Tom Bosworth of G.B. was third in 19:50.52mins.

DCU 2nd in the DMR. Leading going into the mile but very erratic pacing from Coghlan (58, 60, 64) and lost a fairly comfortable lead

Results of the medley relay:

1 Villanova University 'A' 9:38.02
2 Dublin City University 'A' 9:39.68
3 La Salle University 'A' 9:48.52
4 University of Albany 'A' 9:49.90
5 Duke University 'A' 9:52.96
6 Manhattan College 'A' 10:15.54

Joe Warne ran a steady opening leg, passed the baton in 2nd place, Brian Gregan ran a stormer 2nd leg to give DCU the lead. Mark English held the lead in the 3rd leg, while John Coughlan couldn't hold off the fast finishing Villanova student who hit the front with 200m to go.

Good experience for the lads.

American 5000m National (Lagat 13:07), College (Lalang 13:08) and High School (Cheserek 13:57) records all going tonight and the 2mile (Rupp 8:09.72)

Disappointment for pole vaulter Tori Pena at the Millrose Games clearing just 4.30m having missed the first 2 attempts at that height also. Still though, plenty of opportunities left for her to make up the extra 5cm on her current P.B. in order to achieve the A standard of 4.50m for the Olympic Games. If so she will become Ireland's first representative male or female in the Olympic pole vault competition. The pole vault is the only track and field event on the current Olympic program in which we have never been represented in either the men's or women's event (i.e. we've never sent a pole vaulter to the Olympics before) so it would be nice to erase that stat from the history of Irish athletics.

Cracking run from Joanne. I think she will be running in Melbourne soon in either the Olympic trials or the Nationals. Not sure which one, but will make sure to get out to support her.

Is it just me that thinks she is a serious shot of making an Olympic final? While she ballsed up the semi final with a false start, she looked extremely good in the heats and I reckoned would have been good for a top 12 spot in Daegu. Just looking back at the women's 4x400 from Daegu on youtube today and her relay split was pure savage.

What time is McCarthy on at and is there live feed?

McCarthy's race was scheduled to take place 30 mins ago, shown on YouTube (see link on athletics on TV thread).

Joanne could do very well in the 400 this year. If she gets down to her best times of 50.7 range then she will be in the shake-up. Probably will take sub 50.5 to make final (I'm just guessing here). But I'm sure she will be hugely encouraged by that early season form. Relay team is looking promising as both Marian Heffernan and Claire Bergin seem to be making improvements also.

3:57.86 for McCarthy

And throw in the fact that Jessie Barr is improving hugely, there is now nobody (with the exception of Cuddihy) who is guaranteed a spot in the team. This competition for places will raise the overall standard no doubt. 3:26 (low to mid) next year and a big NR is my prediction. Will probably take a high 3:25 to make the final. I don't think they will be far off.

A good night for coach Li taking top 3 spots in that 5k all with Pbs (Lalang and Sambu broke their outdoor PBs also AFAIK)

The 64 almost looked like he was gearing up for the kick though just never came. I think he was running scared as man hunting him down was a 3.57 runner indoors so I suppose its understandable

Derval in action tonight with a solid field the likes of Lolo Jones (Who funnily enough has spent the last few days here in Ireland) as well as Claxton of GB. Should be interesting to see how she fairs as she seems to be gunning for a fast time

Round up of weekend results. Few good performances which slipped under the radar;

Robinson in 3.41 in Brisbane and Conor McCullough winning the weight throw by over 6m in the Harvard -Yale - Princeton meet.

Just watched the highlights online of the national indoors. What the hell is Jerry Kiernan smoking, saying that we will have a small select team going to London. We're pretty much looking at 20+ athletes more than likely with A standards come London, our biggest team since Sydney, and in those games a massive chunk were sent on B-Standards. Small team compared to USA. Maybe that's what he is referring to :rolleyes:

Yeah I heard him saying that too, our team will be upwards of 20+ me thinks, not small at all.
With 13 already and the women's 4x400m on the verge of qualifying along with another couple of athletes who are well capable of getting the standards (Colin Griffin and David Gillick spring to mind) that gives us 20 at least not to mention others already with B-standards that have a good chance of upgrading to A-standard this season. Could even be 25+ which would be incredible. Just a pity the women's 4x100m hadn't any luck on their side because on the back of good times in 2010 they looked to be in with a chance also. Can't see it happening now though.

Is McCullough throwing for Ireland now or is this likely in the future?
