Tue 02 Feb 2010Gillick may be added to team for World Indoors
ATHLETICS IRELAND have announced a provisional team of six for next month’s World Indoor Championships in Doha, Qatar, but the expectation is David Gillick will be added if he so desires. Gillick has yet to race 400 metres indoors and will test his form twice in the coming weeks before deciding if he wants to make the trip.
In the meantime, Derval O’Rourke is definitely intent on challenging for the World Indoor title over the 60 metres hurdles, which she won in 2006, and was yesterday named for Doha along with Claire Brady (60 metres), Kelly McNeice (1,500 metres), Deirdre Byrne (3,000 metres) and Kelly Proper (long jump). There is only one men’s qualifier to date: David McCarthy in the 800 metres.
