		Catherina McKiernan, a native of Drumkeeran, Cornafean, is one of the world’s leading female athletes in the marathon and cross-country disciplines.

		Catherina withdrew from the Irish Olympic squad after she decided that it would not be possible for her to be fully fit for the Games in September.

		McKiernan has been grabbing much of the attention in Amsterdam but a strong men's field has been assembled as well.

		Margate, UK - Catherina Mckiernan’s victory on England’s Kent coast yesterday may not have been as significant as some of her previous victories in Britain, but the Irish star was understandably delighted to return to winning ways.
		McKiernan enjoyed success at the 1994 European Cross Country Championships in England, not to mention a London Marathon triumph, and the 33-year-old was still full of smiles after winning over 5.5km in the Margate Reebok Cross Country International - EAA Permit - race.
		McKiernan will run the Irish trials in two weeks but her pedigree, and her return to winning ways yesterday, will surely see her in the team for Edinburgh.

		Two weeks short of her 34th birthday, McKiernan tackles the Kent course in the south of England but a rematch against European junior cross country champion Charlotte Dale has failed to materialise.
		McKiernan may have won her first three marathons, and holds the Irish record with her 2:22:23 in Amsterdam five years ago, but cross country was where she first made a name for herself.
		Rosemary Ryan and Ann Marie Larkin join McKiernan in the Irish team and the sight of McKiernan flowing across the mud at Margate should bring back memories of the star who took four successive silvers in the IAAF World Cross Country Championships without ever landing that elusive gold.

		Catherina McKiernan (34) has announced her retirement from competitive athletics, leaving a huge void in the sport and indeed Irish sport in general.

		This wasn't because she wanted to run further or shorter than the 26 miles and 385 yards, but because the TV cameras covering the leaders were positioned close to that blue line, ready to beam close-up images around the globe.

		For a shy Irish country girl, Catherina McKiernan proved remarkably adept this week at avoiding persistent questioners inviting her to predict a world best in today's London marathon.
		In one last attempt to get McKiernan to join the guessing game, a reporter said he would see the Irishwoman at 11.20 a.m.
