Michelle narrowly missed the podium at World Student Games in 2013 and made her Olympic debut in 2016 but has found brilliant form this summer, running her three fastest times ever in June 2021. Her PB of 9:29.25 in Finland knocked a whopping nine seconds off her PB and was less than a second off Roisin McGettigan’s long-standing Irish record of 9:28.29. She also ran a 1500m PB (4:23.28) in 2021.
