Thursday 26 February 2026 9:38

SPRINTERS from Strabane AC delivered an outstanding display at the Northern Ireland Open in Belfast, collecting a superb haul of gold medals and personal bests (PBs).

David Miller opened his season in style, storming to gold in the men's 60m in 7.5 seconds.

Clubmate Andrew McFarland continued his remarkable consistency, clocking another personal best of 7.6 seconds to secure silver- his third PB in three races.

Orla Colton made a long-awaited return from injury, winning her 60m category in 9.1 seconds, just outside her best, before adding another gold in the 60m hurdles - her first hurdles race in a year. Leona Garrity built on last week's Scottish bronze by upgrading to 60m gold in Belfast, rounding off a fantastic day for the club.
