Hammer Throw

Career Highlight to date: Winning silver at the European Throwing Cup in Portugal and placing 4th in the final at the European U23 Championships last July in Finland. 

Aims for the 2024 season: I would love to increase my Personal Best and National U23 Record and try qualify for the European Senior Championships in Rome. This would require a big step up in throwing distance creeping towards the 70m mark. I am still only 20 years old but its something to look towards while gaining experience of the ranking points system. I would also love to try defend my National title. 

How will the Jerry Kiernan Foundation help you achieve these aims: I am extremely grateful to be receiving support from the Jerry Kiernan Foundation this year. The financial support from the Jerry Kiernan Foundation will allow me to travel around Europe to compete in high level competitions where ranking points can be gained. There will be vital experience to be gained out of this for future years.
