Kilkenny athlete forced to withdraw from relay team ahead of World Athletics Championships
Cliodhna Manning (Kilkenny City Harriers A.C.) has been forced to withdraw from the Women’s 4x400m Relay Team ahead of the World Athletics Championships in Budapest.
Manning sustained an injury at the recent 123.ie National Senior Track and Field Championships and has not recovered sufficiently to take her place on the start-line.
Niamh Murray (Bray Runners) will replace Manning in the relay squad.
The squad is the largest that Ireland have ever selected for the World Athletics Championships.
