Mayo athlete selected for European Under 20 Championships

LAKE District AC athlete Oisin Joyce is heading to the European championships.

He has been named by Athletics Ireland on a team of 32 athletes to compete at the 2023 European Under 20 Championships to be held in Jerusalem, Israel, from August 7 to 10.

The announcement came days after Oisin set a new national javelin record at Under 19 level in the All-Ireland Juvenile Championships representing the south Mayo club.

Oisin's new personal best throw of 69.43m at the national finals in Tullamore smashed the existing championship record by over 10m - the previous record of 58.63m had stood since 2007.
