Letterkenny AC’s Nakita Burke secured an impressive second place finish in the 3,000 metre race at the National Indoor League in Dublin.
It was the first time that LAC fielded a women’s team at the event. Burke was the star of the LAC team completing the 3,000m in 9:35:18.
Fern Duffy was ninth fastest over 200m and second in her heat running 27:11 seconds whilst in the triple jump, she leapt 9.34m earning her eighth place.
In the men’s 4x400m Ryan Canning, Joseph Aidoo, Sheldon Nyoni and Eoin Kelly took maximum points and were only seven points off a top three finish.
