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.
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.
