ELLE-KATE McRAE has delivered a stunning performance at the European Athletics U18 Championships, smashing her own Irish U18 record while also breaking the Irish U20 record in the 400m Hurdles.

The talented hurdler powered through her semi-final to clock an incredible 58.62, setting new National U18R and U20 record marks on her way to victory.

A remarkable achievement on the European stage and another milestone in an exciting career.

Records subject to ratification.

Wishing the Midleton AC athlete every success in the final.
