Sean Lynch2026-11-06T11:07:11+00:00

Not much club activity this weekend - just two great runs by two great athletes over in the US. Billy Coogan running for Iona in the Mid Atlantic Athletic Conference cross country finished in 4th place to lead his college to team gold. On Sunday it was marathon day in New York. Peter Lynch put in a great effort to place 19th in 2.10.03 - some four minutes outside his national record of 2.06.08 set in April.
