David Mullarkey finished the best of the British in the World Cross-Country Championships in Tallahassee, Florida.
David finished in a fantastic 26th place with a brilliant sprint finish, which not only placed him the first British finisher by a distance and sixth European.
For perspective, World 10,000 metres champion Jimmy Gressier of France was 15th, which gives an indication of the standard of the field David was racing in.
Without doubt one of the great performances in the history of Isle of Man athletics.
