Mark Kenneally still chases the European 5,000m qualifying time after Saturday night`s Irish Milers Club meeting. Mark ran a time of 14:16.18 to take second place behind Slavko Petrovic (Croatia) 13:53.94 leaving himself well short, at this early stage of the season, of the required 13:42, no doubt however with Mark`s other committments behind him now he will give it his best shot. Gary O`Hanlon also ran solidily to 6th in a time of 14:34.33. At the same meet Colm Rooney continues his comeback in taking second place in the 800m in 1:54.01, young Conor Healy placed 8th in that race recording 1:57.16.
