Louth athlete becomes U23 National Indoor 1500M champion
Cian Gorham of St Peter's AC followed up his recent bronze medal with a gold medal
The National U20 and U23 Indoor Championships took place in AIT Athlone on Saturday last.
Louth athlete Cian Gorham followed up his recent bronze medal at the Irish Universities Championship with a gold medal and became U23 National Indoor 1500M champion.
The St. Peter's AC man went into the race as the favourite, and it was clear from early in the race that the favourite tag was justified. There was a large amount of competitors, and Cian wisely stayed out of trouble and moved to the front early.
From there, he dictated the pace, and with a couple of laps to go, he pulled away from the rest with some ease to take victory with a bit to spare and claim for himself another national title in a time of 4.00.21.
Cian has had niggling injuries in the past, but they appear to be behind him now as he looks forward with great optimism for the upcoming outdoor track and field season.
