On what has been a fantastic weekend for the club news has also arrived of outstanding runs by Lorraine O’Connor and Emily Bolton at the British milers club indoor meet at the Cardiff Metropolitan University today. Lorraine ran a 12 second PB clocking a time of 4.22.73, a new Clonliffe club senior indoor record, replacing Becky Woods’ 4.25.41 set back in 2014. This is also a new Clonliffe Harriers women’s U/20 record (indoor or outdoor), the previous record club U/20 record of 4.28.2 was set back in 1972 by Jean Appleby This was a most impressive run by Lorraine as she was all of 15 seconds ahead of the second-place finisher in her race. Emily also produced an outstanding run in her race as she placed 3rd in a time of 4.27.96 which is a new PB for her by all of 5 seconds. Both girls’ previous PB’s were set outdoors, so an exciting indoor and outdoor season is certainly in prospect for both!
