Letterkenny athlete Mark English was just a bit too slow in his latest quest for an Olympic place.
Mark ran in the 800m Grand Prix race in the heat in Madrid this evening with the Olympic ‘A’ standard time of 1:45:60 within his sights.
But he was under a second outside that time, finishing fourth on 1.46:20
English had already come very close to achieving the qualifying time for London when he ran 1:45:77 in May.
But he does get another chance in Spain later this week.
Mark’s next challenge will be the World Junior Athletics Championships in Barcelona which begins next Tuesday July 10th.
