Aqua-Pura Loughborough International

Turnbull powers to new personal best


May 21 , Loughborough, England


It was a good season opener for Belfast's Gareth Turnbull who posted a personal best over the metric mile at the Loughborough International.Finishing strongly he was just pipped by Kenya`s Daniel Gachara by 0.01 of a second. Gareth `s time was one of 3:38.28 which is well inside the B 1500m standard for Edmonton.On an overcast but dry day Turnbull stuck with the pace early on and kept with Gachara right to the line in a brave effort.


Also running in the same race was possibly Ireland`s brightest middle-distance prospect, Conor Sweeney who will be hoping to run the European U-23 championships in Amsterdam later this year.He raced well to finish in a time of 3:44.66 only 0.25 off his personal best which he set last year.He now has the platform from which he can hopefully seriously revise his personal best.


Gareth Turnbull, pictured at the Penn Relays, is in fine early season form.
