At the Senior end of things, Michael Harrington has been representing Ireland competing at the World Masters Athletics Championships in Poland.    He competed in his age category in the mens 3000m indoor track event yesterday and finished in a very credible 8th position overall in a time of 9:08.49 which was a personal best time for him.    He then went on and competed in his age category in the 8km cross country race today.  He ran a very strong race on a challenging course and finished in a brilliant 4th position overall in a field of 35 athetes bringing in a time great time of 28:09.   His final event yet to be ran this week is the 10,000m.
