Butlerstown 10K



Another great night of roadrunning at the Butlerstown 10K with Frank Quinlan and Jim Baldwin running strong to come 2nd and 4th respectively. The race was won with an impressive show by WIT AC student Paddy Hogan. The club wish Paddy and the strong team of students who compete next weekend in Belfast at the Intervarsities T&F championships.
Elain Barry and Liz Nolan both had great runs to win their respective categories and Tony O'Brien fresh from his win at the National 10K championships in the Phoenix park a couple of weeks ago was in fine form again to win the O60 category this evening.
