Thomas Barr set a new Irish Record in the 400m Hurdles of 49.61 breaking Tom McGuirk’s mark of 49.73 when finishing third at the IFAM International Flanders Meet in Oordegem Belgium today.
Tom McGuirk posted this message on the Athletics Ireland Facebook “Congratulations Thomas! It was a true honor and I was very proud to run for Ireland. I was blessed to travel the world and found life long friends in Nicky Sweeney and Neil Ryan. No doubt you will push that record much lower. I wish you the very best always!”
This follows on from his impressive season opener at the Numur meet on Tuesday of 50.34. This time was also the qualification time of 50.15 for the European Track and Field Championships that take place in Zurich in August. Well done Thomas...class work!
