Athletics Ireland has selected nine athletes, including Tipperary's Sharlene Mawdsley, to represent Ireland at the World Indoor Championships which take place from March 1–3 in Glasgow.
Newport’s Sharlene Mawdsley picked up her first 400 metres indoor title last Sunday (running a time of 52.04), and the newly- crowned national champion will hope to compete in the individual 400 metres in Glasgow, pending confirmation of her qualification status by World Athletics.
She was one of the stars of last year’s World Championships in Budapest, leading the women’s relay team to an eighth-placed-finish in the relay final, which marked her sixth 400 metres of the week.
Mawdsley will once again head a strong looking women’s 4x400 metres team, which also includes Sophie Becker (Raheny Shamrock AC), Phil Healy (Bandon AC), Roisin Harrison (Emerald AC), Rachel McCann (North Down AC) and Lauren Cadden (Sligo AC).
