Fintan Dewhirst helped the Ireland Under-20 4x400m relay team hit a new Irish record.
On Wednesday night, the Tir Chonaill AC man ran with the relay side at the Track and Field Live Meet 7 in the National Indoor Arena.
Dewhirst ran the third leg as the quartet clocked 3:14.33 for a new Irish junior record.
Joe Doody, David Bosch and David Mannion joined Dewhirst - the 2022 European Under-18 400m hurdles silver medallist - in setting the new mark.
They were just 0.33 seconds off claiming a qualifying standard for the European Junior Championships.
Also on Wednesday night, Eoin Sharkey of Tir Chonaill AC was third in a 400m, running 52.35 seconds while Jack Murphy cleared 3.40m to finish third in the pole vault.
Meanwhile, Nakita Burke of Letterkenny AC finished 14th in Thursday night’s Armagh International Road Race.
In the women’s 3k, Burke finished in 9:28 and was the leading Irish finisher.
