February sports award for Elizabeth Morland

Cushinstown athlete Elizabeth Morland is the Meath Chronicle / Cusack Hotel Group sportsperson of the month for February following her outstanding performance at the AAI National Indoor Championships at Abbotstown.

The Tara woman stepped up to the senior ranks and stormed to victory in the 60m hurdle in a time of 8.50 seconds. She took the laurels in a competitive 60m hurdle ahead of Catherine McManus of Dublin City Harriers and Lily-Ann O'Hora (Dooneen) in her first event at senior level.

The 2017 Meath Chronicle / Cusack Hotel Group sportsperson of the year awards will take in January 2018 at the Knightsbrook Hotel, Trim.
Following a successful 10th anniversary event last January, the annual awards continue to grow in popularity and prestige.

The top sportsmen and women in the county attend the invitation-only ceremony that this year was hosted by RTE’s Evanne Ni Chuilinn who is due to return again for the 2017 event.
