Tipperary's Sharlene Mawdsley is included in a squad of 23 athletes for the World Athletics Championships in Budapest, which run from August 19–27.
The Irish squad is the largest ever selected for a World Athletics Championships and will see the 23 strong team (which could rise to 26 in the coming days) take to competition alongside over 2,000 athletes from 200 countries at the brand new 35,000 capacity National Athletics Stadium in Budapest.
Mawdsley, who was crowned Irish senior 400 metres champion last weekend, will compete in three events - the 400 metres and the mixed and women's 4 x 400 metres relays.
The Irish relay teams have enjoyed tremendous success in global competition over the past two years, and the women’s 4x400 metres team looks particularly strong with Rhasidat Adeleke (Tallaght AC), Sophie Becker (Raheny Shamrocks), Sharlene Mawdsley (Newport AC), Cliodhna Manning (Kilkenny City Harriers), Roisin Harrison (Emerald AC), and Kelly McGrory (Tir Chonaill) all selected.
