A huge personal best has propelled an Islander to second in the UK rankings after he finished runner-up at an event in Dublin.
Following 18 days of altitude training in St. Moritz, Ryde Harrier Henry McLuckie completed the Morton Mile stage in Dublin with a race time of three minutes and 51.38 seconds.
After quickly settling into the pack, Henry began to put pressure on the leader, American Sam Prakle, the fastest runner in the field.

Despite his efforts for the finish line, Sam managed to finish by the smallest of margins ahead of Henry.
The Island runner's impressive time places him second in this year’s UK standings, just behind former world champion Jake Wightman.
He is not showing signs of slowing down any time soon, following his win in Stockholm, he is set to compete in another 1500-metre race in Liege, Belgium.
