Athens Olympics bound Cork duo Cathal Lombard and Derval
O'Rourke, have been selected to lead strong Irish teams in
the forthcoming Europa Cup competition in Reykjavik,Iceland
on the 19th & 20th June 2004.
Lombard who is qualified in both the 5000m and the 10,000m
will use the competition to hone his speed work for his favoured
10,000m in Athens, an event he recently smashed the Irish
Record for with a sparkling 27.33.53 run in Stanford, USA.
Peter Coghlan and Adrian O'Dwyer will both be hoping to improve
on their recent B standards as Coghlan is currently lying
a mere 12/100th of a second of the required 13.55 A standard
while O'Dwyer needs to improve his 2.28m PB by a mere 2 cm
to gaurentee his place in Athens in August.
On the womens side Karen Shinkins will be aiming high for
a seasons best over 400m while Ciara Sheehy, Freda Davoren
and Maria McCambridge will all be confident of much needed
victories in their events.
A number of events have yet to be decided but it is hoped
that these vacancies will be filled by the weekend.
