There was disappointment but valuable experience, too, for Lughaidh Mallon on Wednesday night: the Lagan Valley AC man finished ninth in his heat of the 1500m, coming home in 3:48.69.
Elizabeth Ndudi (Dundrum South Dubli AC) was in action in the Women’s Long Jump final in Lima and finished sixth last night.
