DONEGAL athlete Mark English had a sensational run in the World Indoor Championships today - but missed out on a final place. Mark's best time before today's race was 1.46.82 - a new Irish indoor record which he set in Athlone last month. AdvertisementHe finished fourth in his heat - in 1.47.60 - but had been in second at one stage - and was clipped twice by other athletes during the gruelling run. But he can take a great deal of heart out of today's run. Earlier the Donegal man had told the Irish Independent that he remained focus on succeeding.
