Cillian Kirwan ran 1:46.89 in Belgium this evening. That sort of time would be good enough for 'fastest by an Irishman' on most other days of the year! In addition to the silver medals for Emma Hickey (1500m) and Lucie Cawley (2000m steeplechase) at the European U18 Championships in Rieti, both Tara Laverty (Discus 50.23m) and Elle-Kate McRae (400m Hurdles 58.62) broke national U18 AND U20 records. Tara finished 4th, and Elle-Kate qualified for tomorrow's final. Laura Frawley carries a 503-point lead into the second day of the National Combined Events Championships. She is 219 points ahead of her own PB 'pace'.
Medal alert: Emma Hickey won silver in the 1500m at the European U18 Championships in Rieti.
Zoe Toland ran 4:10.82 PB to finish 4th overall in the pre-programme 1500m in Heusden, Belgium, this afternoon. Her best prior to 2026 was 4:14.00. Maddie Mooney was close behind in 4:11.92, just outside her recent 4:11.32 PB.
Sarah Healy finished 3rd in the 3000m in London in 8:25.63 NL PB. She remains 2nd on the Irish all-time list (at this and all the distances), and is clearly coming into form at exactly the right time.
Mark English becomes the 2nd Irish athlete to break 1:43 in the 800m, finishing 2nd at the London Diamond League in 1:42.97 NL. National record holder Cian McPhillips finished 7th in 1:43.97 SB, big improvement from his run in Budapest on Tuesday.
Season's best of 39.17 for the Irish men's 4x100m in London. The women were disqualified for a false start.
Another win for Orla Comerford, this time at the London Diamond League where she ran 11.79 (+0.7m/s).
Brandon Ballard, who recently transferred allegiance from Great Britain to Ireland finished 3rd in the Para 1500m race in London in 4:01.05. Orla Comerford is up next.

Medal alert: Lucie Cawley won silver in the 2000m Steeplechase at the European Athletics U18 Championships in Rieti.
2.16m high jump national lead for David Cussen in Cork this evening! He cleared it on his first attempt too.
Sharlene Mawdsley finished 4th in the 400m in Madrid (Continental Tour Silver) in 50.43.
The women's 4x100m team ran 43.89 for 3rd on a tough night in Luzern. That'll improve their Road to Birmingham time marginally, but not their placing. However, with few opportunities remaining, their 15th spot is looking more secure by the day. They'll go again on Saturday, and if they land all three passes, the 43.73 national record stands danger of serious revision. The men's team finished 4th earlier in the night in 39.25. Only their two record runs from last year are quicker all-time. They'll also go again on Saturday.
Benjamin Richardson, who will be eligible to represent Ireland (and break Irish records) from August 2027 ran 10.06 (0.0m/s) to finish 3rd in the 100m in Luzern. Lauren Roy finished 7th in the women's 100m in 11.41 (-0.1m/s).
Both Eimear Maher and James Dunne were racing over 1500m at a Cat F meeting in Germany this evening. Eimear finished 2nd in 4:08,29, while James was 3rd (3:39.65). Eric Favors threw 19.44 at street shot put competition in Germany on Monday.
Athletics Ireland have announced the team for next month's World U20 Championships. See below for selections.
Cian McPhillips ran 1:45.32 in Budapest to finish 9th in the 800m. He'll go again at the London Diamond League on Saturday.
Nick Griggs 8th over 3000m (7:38.16) in Budapest. Cian McPhillips coming up in the 800m at 6.18pm.
2.01.35 PB for Maddie Mooney over 800m in Tampere this afternoon. She is the sixth Irish woman to break 2:02 for the distance this season, the most ever in one outdoor season. And we're still only in July.
100m results from Stratford: Sarah Leahy 11.34w (+5.4) and 11.50 PB (+0.9); Mollie O'Reilly 11.59 PB (+1.8) and 11.54 PB (+1.2); Molly Scott 11.55 (+1.7); Precious Akpe-Moses 11.45w (+5.4). Max O'Reilly was the fastest of the Irish lads with 10.37 (+1.3) in the first round of the men's competition.
