Rachel Gibson was back on the track at the Morton Stadium in Santry on Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th July for the National Senior Championships. She ran a strong 3rd place in Heat 1 of the 1500m in 4:39.03 to qualify for the final. Unfortunately despite running more than 5 seconds faster in the final she just missed out on the podium, finishing 4th in 4:33.47.
