Celtic Games record
Posted by Ciaran Tobin on 6 August 2013
Harry Purcell, Trim AC set a new Celtic Games record in Colwyn Bay, north Wales today. He ran to a comfortable win in the 800m with a time of 1m52s72 beating the previous record of Mark English. Harry has had numerous successes in the 400m and 800mduring his first season at provincial, national and now international level. This latest result is very significant in that the athlete whose record he beat (Mark English, Letterkenny AC) is currently one of the top ranked senior 800m runners in the country. Andrew Coscoran from star of the Sea AC in east Meath also set a Celtic Games record with an excellent time of 8m32s.
