Athletics Ireland – News – Ireland’s Ciara Mageean earns nomination for 2010 European Athletics Rising Star Award

Ireland’s 2010 World Junior 1,500m silver medallist Ciara Mageean has earned a nomination for the 2010 Female European Athletics Rising Star Award.

Voting takes place on the European Athletics website until 24th September.

The winners will be decided by votes from the general public, media, European Athletics Member Federations, and a panel of experts, with the results from each group of voters counting for one quarter of the athlete’s final score.

Speaking about the Rising Star Awards, European Athletics President Hansjorg Wirz said: “I think you will find a number of future Olympic and world champions on the nomination form and we look forward to seeing who will win The European Athletics Rising Star Awards for 2010”.

Mageean has had a brilliant 2010 season, the highlight of which was her fantastic 4:09.51 in Canada to win the 1,500m silver medal for Ireland at the World Junior Championships – the sole medal won by a non-African competitor in the women’s middle distance events.
