Also today 4 x 100 squad member, Keith Pike ran a strong leg in the relay on the Irish team as the team clocked a new national U/23 record of 40.18 in placing 3rd, later he ran 10.94 in placing 4th in the B 100.
Sunday, Day 2 saw the Irish team again put in excellent performances including a 10th place by Ian Rogers in the Pole Vault (4.50m) and then Clonliffe athletes in the 4 x 400 relays, Ciara McCallion running the 2nd leg as the women`s team placed 6th (3.43.10) and Brian Gregan running the opening leg for the men who finished 3rd (3.05.64).
