    Great news. Delighted for her. Her series, despite three fouls, was pretty strong too, with a 6.47m and a 6.55m. Onwards and upwards.

    That from Jordanstown? Have a link to the results?

    To be fair i think his 60 pbs were from when he first started running. He certainly wasnt running 7.3 60m splits on the way to 10.65. Hopefully see him get comfortably under 7

    http://www.independent.ie/sport/other-sports/athletics-proper-focused-on-long-jump-glory-as-heptathlon-talk-quashed-2038493.html
    KELLY Proper's new Irish long jump record of 6.62m in Vienna last weekend has clinched her place in next month's World Indoors and, she says, underlines why she's not tempted to switch to the heptathlon.

    Irish fans will see the talented Waterford star in action at the Woodies National Indoors in Belfast in a week's time and in the coming month, she's also hoping to compete in the Birmingham GP on February 20.

    Getting into the Birmingham long jump would likely pit her against Britain's world-class heptathletes, reigning world champion Jessica Ennis and 2007 bronze medallist Kelly Sotherton.

    And many feel that Proper, currently the Irish long jump and 200m champion, who also took 100m silver at the Nationals last summer, could take a similar path as she has serious potential as an international multi-eventer.

    However, the Ferrybank field star says she has no notion of switching disciplines.

    Having gone full-time this season, she is concentrating solely on the long jump right now, especially as she's already qualified for this summer's European Championships, a competition where 6.62m took fourth place back in 2006.

    "I used to do multi-events when I was 16-17 and I was good at the throws, but the 800m nearly killed me," Proper quips.

    "I think a lot of people switch to heptathlon when they're not doing well in their individual event, but I am very happy with it," she said.

    "Plus, I am already training so hard for the long jump and my coaches -- Brid and Alan Golden -- have three small kids and certainly wouldn't have time to be training me for other events."

    Having added 30cm to her personal best in the past year, Proper is clearly still developing.

    She jumped a 6.59 best to reach the European Indoor final last March. The only blip in 2009 was when her big leap of 6.68m at the Nationals was wind-assisted, which meant she didn't qualify for the World Championships in Berlin.

    "I really felt in great shape that day and felt that I would have jumped a PB without the wind," Proper says, admitting that indoor jumping is her preference.

    "Having a wind behind you is much more disruptive because you're having to change your mark and run-up and can foul more often," she explains. Yet she still has no complaints about having to train outdoors all year round, even during the recent arctic conditions, because of Ireland's lack of indoor facilities.

    "There's nothing you can do about it, so you just get on with it," Proper says stoically.

    Elsewhere the 26th AXA Raheny Five Mile race takes place on Sunday at 3.0, with juvenile races (€5) from 2.15.

    And for those who prefer their running wet and wild, there's a new 5km 'Mud Run', in aid of MS Ireland, taking place on the off-road track in Mondello Park on February 27.

    Strong field for Hession there, interesting to see what he does against Philips the LJ world champion and Clarke, whos gone sub 10. Obviously its just an opener so it doesnt matter too much ... anyone know if Hesh is planning a full indoor season or not?

    He has but that takes a second off his indoor PB.

    The 400 guys are travelling well. We have 3 juniors sub 50 indoors in Scanlan, Crowe and Hannon and two more with the potential to go maybe sub 50 all going well next week in Kervick and Maher.

    Bodes well for another 4x400 in the World Juniors

    Yes indeed and a few others can be thrown in there like Harvey but I don't know if any will get the individual standard as its sub 48. I think they should send them if they have 5 or 6 sub 50 as Gillick refers to his trip to the World Juniors on a relay as a real turning point for him.

    Crowe is one to watch in years to come over the hurdles. Ran low 54 last year and the World Junior standard (53.34) is now in his radar based on his great indoor run yesterday. Has a good pedigree, his old man was a handy runner himself!

    Good news on McCarthy (le Cheile).

    http://www.athleticsireland.ie/content/?p=11652
    Bratislava David McCarthy (Le Cheile AC) was an easy winner over 800m in a time of 1:49.40 - just outside his indoor best of 1:49.12.

    I think Scanlan has a good chance of getting the standard, he is a second off it with his first run indoors. Logically he should get 47.90 by july, however he seems to run better indoors.

    Harvey is experienced having ran at two major internationals now and i think can go low 48, he also showed promise over the hurdles last summer. Fearghus Hannon is another quite promising one, apparently ran a very quick first leg at the European Juniors in the heats.

    At the Leinster senior championships yesterday, Kourosh was 2nd in the Long Jump but didn't compete in the High Jump (won by Barry Pender with 2.10). Anyone know if he got injured ?

    Hi Notsofast

    Kouroush took a tumble at the long jump.... he seemed to slip on the board and landed very badly..... he had his knee strapped up after that. what was fantastic to see was that he went over to the high jump and really gave his support to Barry, as Barry attempted to get a CBP..... it was lovely for the young kids doing the relays to see the sportsmanship he showed.

    Hope he's not too badly injured. It's great to see sportsmanship in up and coming athletes.

    Is Gillick intending to run?

    Hopefully Hesh can get his time down, and Chamney should get the standard. Maybe Gregan can pull a big time out, i hope he's doing the UK trials this weekend to get a fast race.
