David Gillick opened up his Olympic campaign with a 46.39 sec run over 400m at the Mt. Sac Relays in sunny California last weekend. David has been enjoying a spell of warm weather training in the USA. There was a great showing by DSD Athletes - from many 3rd level institutions - at last weekend's Intervarsities Championships in Irishtown. Leading results are listed below (apologies to anyone I left out). Conditions were arctic - strong winds and very cold! It was more like cross country weather!
