In the recent mixed 4x400m final, Mawdsley delivered an outstanding leg with a split time of 49.93 seconds for Ireland, securing fifth place but later missed the heats, ultimately ruling her out of Sunday's relay. Meanwhile, teammates Cadden and McCann faced difficulties in the 400m heats, with McCann being disqualified despite hitting a personal best. Mark English showcased his skill in the 800m, finishing second and securing a semi-final spot, while Cian McPhillips overcame a challenging race involving a fall, successfully appealing for reinstatement to continue in the competition.
Mawdsley had turned in a magnificent leg in last night's mixed 4x400m final, splitting the fastest female time in the race of 49.93 seconds to carry Ireland to fifth, but was a no-show for this morning's heats and will now also be ruled out for the women's 4x400m on Sunday.
Mark English, who was highly impressive when finishing second in his 800m heat in 1:46.42, the Donegal man imposing himself on the race from the outset and showing brilliant composure on the final bend.
It was a messy enough race. It could have went any way. I was quite nervous going into the race but thankfully I came through.
Cian McPhillips endured a rough start to his campaign, the Longford athlete shunted to the back of the field with a lap to run in his 800m heat and then falling over a rival who hit the track in front of him.
