'Sky is the limit' for ever-improving Sheridan

By finishing third in the women's race at the Melbourne Marathon, Nichola Sheridan's graph continues on an upward curve, this for a competitor who only made her marathon debut in 2024. A native of Co Meath, 29-year-old Sheridan is now settled in Sydney and Sunday's race saw her clock a personal-best time of 2:29.13, improving on her previous personal best by four minutes. Ahead of her in Melbourne was Mayo-born Sinead Diver, who has represented Australia for over a decade now.
