The rise of Athenry AC's Paul Hession to the status of superstar received a further boost on Sunday as the medical student smashed his own national senior record over 60 metres when winning the national title against top class opposition at the Odyssey Arena, Belfast. Already confirmed as the the fastest Irishman ever when making the record his own by clocking 6.66 seconds in Vienna less than a month ago, Paul clocked 6.63 seconds on Sunday to place himself firmly amongst the fastest in Europe.
