Irish Athletes Ready for World Cross Test in Tallahassee
Ireland’s four-strong team is set for a major challenge at the World Cross Country Championships in Tallahassee, Florida, as the event returns to the United States for the first time since 1992.
The Irish challenge is led by Brian Fay and Fiona Everard, both of whom finished tenth at last month’s European Cross Country Championships in Lagoa. Brian arrives in outstanding form after winning the national senior title and helping Ireland to a historic European silver medal, while Fiona returns to the world stage following a breakthrough top-ten European finish.
Also making their World Cross Country debuts are Niamh Allen in the senior women’s race and rising U20 talent Noah Harris, who will look to gain valuable experience on the global stage in Tallahassee.
Live on Virgin Media 2 this Saturday, January 10th from 3.50pm (Irish Time).
