ReplyDeleteThats some time,don't think there is any other Cork runner can run that 5k time at the moment.At his age looks like he is going to go faster than that again.Hopefully he could be the elite runner from Cork that we've been waiting for since Mark Carroll, Marcus O Sullivan.Looks like he could be.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding time and performance, real star potential over the next few years.
ReplyDeleteThat's some cut off your PB. Over a minute at that level is serious improvement. A huge prospect if that continues.
