🔵We're SO delighted for Sophie O'Sullivan who last night followed in her mother's footsteps to take gold in the Women's 1500m at the NCAA Division 1 Outdoor Track and Field Championships in the USA.

🔵 Féidhlim McGowan finished 5th in the Cork City Marathon in his Sanctuary Runner singlet (2 hrs 29 mins!).

At the post race party Bianca's eyes lit up as she spotted the medal and without a moments hesitation Féidhlim presented it to her.
