Fresh from her first-place finish in the Long Jump at the European Games, St Abban's Ruby Millet has been chosen in the Irish U-23 squad for the European Championships.
Millet registered a season's best jump in Krakow with her jump of 6.33m propelling her into first-place and securing maximum points for Ireland. Team Ireland went on to win Division 3 at the Games.
Laois will have a second representative on the Irish team as Ava O'Connor from Emo will compete in the 3000m Steeplechase.
