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?
