Marathon man Joe scoops bronze
03.11.11

JOE McKinney is the
toast of Inishowen athletics this week after
scooping a national bronze medal during a remarkable
run at the Dublin City Marathon on Monday. |
Recording a
scintillating time of just 2 hours and 37 minutes,
Joe also set a new Inishowen AC club record during
the annual run, which attracted more than 14,000
athletes to the streets of the capital.
There were mixed emotions on the day for the 19
Inishowen AC runners who took part.
Frank Lavelle was on course to break his previous
marathon time of 3 hours, 15 minutes but a niggling
injury flared up and after medical attention he
decided to finish the race since he was running for
charity. Helena Crossan made a return to the Dublin
Marathon with a steady performance and posted a
superb 2 hour, 56 minutes finishing time.
Carndonagh athlete, Jim Harkin, making his debut at
the distance, put in a great performance, crossing
the line in a time of 3 hours, 5 minutes with
Patrick Doherty and Pat Gallagher next over the line
in a time of 3 hours, 7 minutes followed by |
