This year’s meet produced a European para-100 record by Ireland’s Orla Comerford. Three Stadium records: the fastest ever 100 run on Irish soil – 10.06 courtesy of Christian Miller (USA), a women’s hammer record set by the reigning Olympic and World champion Camryn Rogers (CAN), and an unbelievable Morton mile in which Sam Prakel (USA) set a new Stadium record and all 16 athletes ran sub four-minute miles – only the 6th time in history that this has occurred anywhere in the world.
Morton Games was also proud to have our sustainability efforts recognised by World Athletics with the meet having been awarded the ‘Athletics for a better world standard – recognised event level’
