Junioren International Gala (Mannheim) 2023 (24th June)

International Debut for Aimee Wallace

Aimee Wallace made her International Debut over 1,500m at the Junioren Gala in Mannheim, Germany on Saturday afternoon 24th June. In a tactical race held in 30degC heat, Aimee finished in fourth place in a time of 4 minutes 33.03 seconds. Aimee placed herself in the lead group from the outset and looked very comfortable at this level. She remained in contention for a top three finish for the entire race but ultimately had to settle for fourth in an age category that she has two more years eligibility in. This was an excellent performance from Aimee and she will benefit hugely from gaining competitive experience on an international stage.

Representing Ireland for the first time is a huge milestone for any athlete and is well deserved for Aimee, who looks to have a very bright future as an international athlete. Now that Aimee has made her International debut for Ireland, her name will be added to the International Roll of Honour in the Clubhouse, the one hundred and twenty fourth name on the marble wall plaque.
