In 2015, Lizzie had a spectacular year. In September she ran the 5th fastest time ever by an Irish woman when she ran 2 :32:51 in the Berlin Marathon. At the moment, she has the fastest qualifying time of all the Irish women for the Olympics in Rio.
In December, she was part of the Irish Cross Country team that won Bronze in the European Cross Country Championships.
All going well, she should be one of three Irish women heading to the Olympic Marathon in Rio to represent Ireland.
The awards ceremony was sponsored by Newbridge Silverware. Photos from Lizzie's dad Gearóid O Laoi HERE (Facebook account required to view)
