Katie Bergin has won her first ever national senior title.

The Moyne AC athlete crossed the line first in today’s Women’s 200m at the National Track & Field Senior Championships at a windy Santry.

The Tipp woman took the gold medal in a time of 24.60 seconds, which was over half a second faster than anyone else in the race.

Speaking to Athletics Ireland TV after the race, Katie was delighted with her maiden senior title:

“A big thank you to Moyne AC my club and all my family and friends and all the girls I ran against today.

“To take the U23 100m and now this really just tops off the year so I’m delighted.”
