Laois Athlete claims bronze at European Cross Country Championships

Portlaoise athlete Mary Mulhare alongside her senior ladies teamates Michelle Finn, Mary Mulhare, Eilish Flanagan, Aoibhe Richardson, Ann-Marie McGlynn, and Roisin Flanagan have won  bronze in the senior women's 8000m during the SPAR European Cross Country Championships in Turin!

Its a fantastic achievement for Mulhare and her teamates. They were very much underdogs going into the race as star runner Ciara Magean was not available due to injury. 

A fantastic run by the Portlaoise school teacher was crucial to getting that third place on the podium.
