What is recorded here
Ballykelly in County Wexford gave Sophie Becker to the world, a small birthplace lending its name to Olympic relay lanes and European championship medals. The town may have never expected its roads to produce such speed, yet the fact stands clear: one of Ireland's finest 400 metre runners began there.
