Tipperary’s McGeever up and running at European Aquatic Championships

Tipperary’s Finn McGeever was in the pool this morning at the European Aquatic Championships.

The Ballina man was representing Ireland in the 200m freestyle event in Rome earlier on.

McGeever clocked a time of 1:51:32 seconds in his heat, which was the 36th fastest time of the heats.


This time wasn’t quick enough for the 21-year-old to qualify from the heats, ending his participation in the event.

However, Finn will be back in action on Monday morning in the men’s 200m butterfly event.
