Westmeath Examiner Sports Awards for 2019 (10th Dec)

The Westmeath Examiner announced on Tuesday 10th December the final nominations for the Westmeath Examiner Sports Awards for 2019, which includes Claire Fagan (June) and the Mullingar Harriers Senior Women Cross Country Team (November). A personal best for Claire over 10,000m at the Galway Senior T&F in June was inside the qualifying standard for the European u/23 T&F in Sweden where Claire represented Ireland in July, her first Major Championship. In November, Claire finished second in the Leinster Senior Cross Country to lead the Mullingar Senior Women team including Aine O’Reilly, Sinead Whitelaw, Elizabeth Carr, Michelle Bohan, Jennifer Algar, Anna Broderick and Amy Mahony to its first Senior title since 1995. The team not only finished first Club but was first County too and is the worthy winner of the November Award. Congratulations to Claire and the Senior Women cross country team on their Awards, which will be presented at a Gala Function in the Mullingar Park Hotel on Friday evening 10th January 2020.
