🇮🇪 Day 1 kicks off in Santry with a stacked Saturday schedule as the longest-running national track and field championships in the world gets underway. Perri Williams has already laid out the full picture in her weekend preview, but even just the first day promises fireworks. Sarah Healy, fresh off her European Indoor title, opens her campaign in the 800m. Mark English is entered in both the 400m and 800m, keeping everyone guessing where he’ll strike. Sharlene Mawdsley and Sarah Lavin are both doubling up in the sprints, while Sophie O’Sullivan takes on the 1500m and Kate Veale goes for yet another national title in the walk. Over in the field, Eric Favors will be aiming to dominate the men’s shot put as usual.
As has been widely reported, Rhasidat Adeleke will not be lining out this weekend, but there’s still no shortage of Irish stars ready to make their mark.
