    She attained the Steeple Time in Daegu and the 10,000m time in Stanford and is on course to hit the (15.20 I think)

    Is this a first not including relays? Just out of interest and put her achievements over the last 12 months into perspective

    Did cragg have a 10k standard in 2007/2008? He had the 1500 and 5k but not sure if he had the 10 also.

    He ran 27:3x in 2007. Think A standard is 27:4x?

    Your right he got the NR in April 07 forgot 10k was eligible before the normal qualification period of May for track events.

    Mystery solved:o

    Have they decided what events she will be picked for? I think I heard someone suggest she should avoid the steeplechase and try the 5 or 10.

    They won't decide, Fionnuala and her her coach will decide.

    Mark Carroll in 2000? Def 5k, and I think that was the year he set the irish 10k record, and it's quite likely he hit the 1500m in 1999/2000 too.

    Sonia in 2000 would've had 1500/5k/10k too.

    There must be more.

    Although there were not qualification standards in place going back some years ago but in Helsinki 1952 Pat Dolan competed in three individual events: 100m, 200m and 400m.

    AFAIK a swimmer only needs one 'A' standard to qualify but can compete in other events with a 'B'.

    In Michelle Smith's case considering she medalled in 4 events she probably had 4 'A' standards.
