Smyth finished third in last weekend's NI Championships 100m

The partially-sighter sprinter took third place in a wind-assisted 10.56 in the 100m final behind Paul Brizzel and Burkina Faso athlete Idrissa Sanou.

A week earlier, Smyth had claimed the senior sprint double at the Irish Schools Championships at Tullamore.

"Everything is going fairly well," Smyth told BBC Sport.

"I'm looking forward to seeing what I can do in the rest of the season.

Smyth's twin targets this year are the World Junior Championship in Beijing during August and the World Paralympic Games in Holland in early September.

Earlier this year, Smyth claimed the World Indoor 60m paralympic title in Sweden which came seven months after his double-gold at last summer's European Outdoor Paralympics.

Smyth's talent ensures that he is well able to hold his own against Ireland's best overall sprinters as evidenced by his third place finish in last year's Irish Championships at Santry.

His performance also led the Irish Sports Council earlier this year to award him an annual grant of 40,000 Euro which is certain to continue until at least the 2008 Paralympics in Beijing.

"I certainly can't complain about what the (Irish) Sports Council are doing for me," says Smyth with a smile.

"It's quite nice to get that kind of recognition being so young."

Smyth's racing commitments over the past couple of weeks have coincided with the build-up to his A-Levels and his academic plan is to study Business and Accounting at the nearby Magee University in Derry.

July will be a busy month with the Londonderry lad scheduled to compete at both the Irish Junior and Senior Championships as well as a planned trip to Germany to chase the World Junior Championship qualifying standard.

He is keen to make the trip to Beijing this year which could prove invaluable experience for his expected Paralympic challenge in the Chinese capital in two years.

"I would get to experience what it's like with the different culture and get used to it when it comes to the Paralympics."
