What a statement performance from Rachel McCann, Sophie Becker, Arlene Crossan, and Sharlene Mawdsley.
The Irish quartet have stormed to victory in Heat 1, clocking an outstanding 3:23.83 to secure automatic qualification for next year’s World Athletics Championships in Beijing. A performance packed with composure, power, and precision—this was Irish relay running at its very best.
This result is more than just a qualification—it’s momentum. With confidence building and chemistry peaking, this quartet is setting the tone for what promises to be an electrifying campaign ahead.
Onwards and upwards to Beijing—where bigger stages and faster times await.
