@MickTynan @mcwexford @Jeremy_P_Lyons @dublin_sprint @galvinsports @GalvinSinead They were great times!

[Brendan Glynn @GalwayTrackTeam]

@mcwexford @Jeremy_P_Lyons @dublin_sprint @galvinsports @GalvinSinead Really sad seeing this - Giant of a man for what has done for Irish coaching. Few times throughout my coaching journey I reached out for help and Jeremy was very kind with his time and knowledge and I’ll never forget that.

@egansadventures I think you only need a B standard if getting a reallocated place - if you’re in initial road to ranking spots you don’t need B standard which is a welcome change.

[Brendan Glynn @GalwayTrackTeam]

@boriakinola01 @MarkSmythy AAI policy, you have to hit a B standard to be selected or if was part of relay going. World ranking has its issues, that guy below has run 20.4, but below him again is a 20.0 athlete (from US) and below that again is a 20.2 athlete who obv didn’t know how to navigate points.

@Andru1993 That is bloody awesome - really need more of this going forward - hard being a sprinter in Ireland running into -2+ winds

[Brendan Glynn @GalwayTrackTeam]

@leonr200m I think most people don't understand how good that is. 20.77 is as good as 6.57 60m about 1 point in ranking difference (for a guideline at least), it's a better standard all the other sprint finals which were amazing. Some depth in Irish male sprinting right now 60m-400m

Congrats to Jack Raftery on new record.
Great run from Andrew Egan in second 34.51

[Jack Raftery @raftery_jack]

Full clip of the National Record from Wednesday night. 33.27 🤫@dublin_sprint

[Brendan Glynn @GalwayTrackTeam]

@Cliffjennings48 @dublin_sprint @raftery_jack Not Robert but one of Robert’s training partners Andrew Egan - 34.51 and believe 3rd was pretty close to that. Great run by Jack esp considering how big he is for indoors

Another step closer to the new @unigalwaysport HP gym. Looking forward to seeing our athletes training here in a few weeks @UGMareeBball @uniofgalway @GalwayAlumni @UniofGalwayWFC @UniOfGalwayFC @GAANUIG @nuiggaa1 @Camogie_OG @NUIGRowing @AthleticsNuig

@petermannion @lostinskylines @ProfJaneWalsh @StreetsofGalway Can’t say I’ve ever heard of them doing one. Might be worth contacting Athletics Ireland & Paralympics Ireland - they have a contact section on website.

[Brendan Glynn @GalwayTrackTeam]

@BrianGregan89 @Euro_Champs Bring it in for sprints at Irish Nationals esp as you have open entry.
That being said, I wonder how much of a difference it would even make, generally the athletes who perform best in final are the ones who don't have to run as close to pbs to qualify and conserve energy,ietop12

[Brendan Glynn @GalwayTrackTeam]

Nice to see Andrew Egan official sub 22 for the first time with 21.78 in Birmingham - lots more to come.
