In the Women’s Hammer, Adrienne Gallen won bronze and also set a new Donegal record.
A 51.23m throw gave the Lifford lady a medal and another new county mark.
The winner in the category was Michaela Walsh from Swinford A.C. with a massive 62.64.
Elsewhere, Kelly McGrory of Tir Chonaill A.C. won her heat in the 400m hurdles to book her place in tomorrows final.
Her time of 59.77 was the fastest of the eight finalists.
