Laois Athlete Sets Sights On Tokyo Olympics

Nessa Millet is hopeful the mixed relay team can achieve Olympic qualification.

Laois athlete Nessa Millet will be part of two Irish international relay squads during the upcoming season. 

Athletics Ireland recently announced the squad list for the Senior Women's 4x400 and Mixed 4x400 teams and she's been included in both for the second year in succession.
