@LizNdudi 6th place at World U20's Lonh Jump has taken Irish jumping into the big league this season. Congrats and can't wait to see what 2025 brings.
"I didn't finish where I wanted to finish, but I can't forget I had a great season before this. A national record at my age is huge, so I'm excited to see what comes next."
Elizabeth Ndudi just 16cm away from a medal in the world U20 long jump final - finishes 6th with 6.18m
