The teenager set a championship record of 4.29.81 on Day three of the National Juvenile Track & Field Championships. Renton broke the previous record set by Aimee Hayde in 2018 where the Tipperary native clocked in at 4.30.91.
In remarkable fashion, Freya’s twin sister, Holly finished second as she secured silver in the 1500m event. Holly Renton finished across the line at 4.36.24 which was nearly seven seconds behind her equally talented sibling, Freya.
