World indoor and outdoor silver medallist Kate O’Connor and five-time European medallist Mark English will headline a strong Irish team for the upcoming World Indoor Championships. The 25-year-old went onto win silver in the Heptathlon at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo last September. English has also been in excellent form this season, lowering his own Irish indoor 800m record on two occasions. He also ran an Irish indoor 600m record in January, clocking 1:15.80 at the Sport Ireland National Indoor Arena in Dublin. Ciara Neville, Emma Moore, James Gormley and Elizabeth Ndudi, have achieved the Athletics Ireland ‘B’ Standard and are provisionally selected pending confirmation of their qualification status by World Athletics.
