Athletics: David Mullarkey achieves All-American status

It comes after Top-40 finish in latest outing for Florida State University

Manx athlete David Mullarkey has achieved the prestigious 'All-American' status following another strong performance out in the USA.

It comes after he claimed 40th place in the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) XC Championships men's 10k event in a time of 29 minutes 50.8 seconds.

Mullarkey - who competes for Florida State University - joins fellow Island competitor Keith Gerrard in gaining this status with Gerrard having previously attained it in both cross-country and track.

In the last twelve months, Mullarkey set a new Manx 10k road record in December 2022 and signed for Florida State University in February this year.
