TWO Finn Valley AC athletes are celebrating after setting new records in their sports – and qualifying for the World Junior Athletics Championships.
John Kelly through a world youth qualifying standard of 18-33 in Loughborough earlier today in the shot putt.
And Fellan McGuigan followed that up at the same meeting with 66.75M in the hammer – again beating the qualifying standard.
The 2013 IAAF World Youth Championships will be held in Donetsk, Ukraine, from July 10-14 2013.
“It was just fantastic,” said Patsy McGonagle from FVAC.
“They are very talented young men and they will now be looking forward to competing in a world-class competition in the summer.”
