Re: Tiarnan Crorken
Has he just met the 1:44:50 qualifying mark or has he actually been selected for the worlds ?
I was watching a bit of the diamonds league meeting in Switzerland tonight and the rain was torrential !!

He's a really good lad, delighted that he's kicked on even further after his spell in the States.

As for athletics, there are several local clubs who are always looking out for athletes and more importantly the coaches/volunteers who help produce talent like Tiarnan.

Is he related to the same Crorkens that Sean and Derry belong to?

Re: Tiarnan Crorken
When I spoke to him before he left England to go to the holding camp, he said he has planned with his coach to try and run a high 1:43, as that is what it may well take to qualify from the heats.
It really shows the depth of talent in the 800m at the minute.
