The Winner of the 2023 Athletics Award was Kelly McGrory, of Tír Chonaill A.C.
There was a silver medal at the Senior Championships in the 400m Hurdles that sealed her selection on the 4x400m Ireland relay team to compete at the World Championships in Budapest.
There is no doubt that the highlight for Kelly was being a member of that Irish squad which finished 4th in their heat and qualified for the World Championships final in Budapest. Kelly ran a great third leg in the final helping the team to finish eighth in the World.
It's Kelly’s first time to win a Donegal Sports Star Award. She is the eighth woman to win the Athletics Award after Sommer Lecky, Mary McLoone, Sharon Foley, Shauna Colhoun, Bridie Lynch, Kay Byrne and Danea Herron.
