Galway City Harriers athlete Cillin Greene has earned a well-deserved selection for the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, which starts on 13th September next. Greene will reunite with Sharlene Mawdsley in the Mixed Relay 4x400m squad, and alongside Jack Raftery, Conor Kelly, Sophie Becker and Rachel McCann. The GCH athlete has previously medalled with the Mixed Relay squad at the World Relays and is a proven international competitor.
Congratulations also go to Michelle Duggan (pictured), formerly of Craughwell AC (now UCD), who will travel as part of the Women's 4 x 400m squad along with Sharlene Mawdsley, Sophie Becker, Rachel McCann, and Cliodhna Manning.
