Casey and Griggs have a great, healthy rivalry at the minute with the competition bringing the both of them on. Having been 13th in this race last year, Casey showed how much he's kicked on this year and he was delighted when speaking to Athletics Ireland after the race. "I was able to see Nick throughout, fighting for number one spot. You couldn't ask for more from Nick. And for me, it's unreal. I was 13th last year, knowing I wasn't at my best, so to come third this year shows how much training I've done." https://twitter.com/irishathletics/status/1601874043443073024 The team, completed by Jonas Stafford, Mark Hanrahan, Sean McGinley and Callum Morgan also took home the silver medal, on a morning, and in a race that bodes very well for the future of Irish distance running."My coach told me down the last hill to go for it," Griggs told Athletics Ireland afterwards.
"In the home straight, I stumbled a bit and it cost me. It's disappointing but I gave it everything.
"If you had told me yesterday that I would have got a silver, I would have been buzzing, so mixed emotions now"
