thanks Joe, thats a great help, anyone know any more?

George,
You probably know these other sources, but just in case:

IAAF bio: John Treacy
http://www.iaaf.org/athletes/biographie ... index.html
IAAF states that its bios are not intended to be complete (though they're usually reasonably good), but Treacy's is peculiarily incomplete in that it mentions none of his OG performances. On the other hand, it has what looks to be complete record of his World XC (Jr and Sr) competition and his WC competition, which can be hard to find in a comprehensive source elsewhere.

His complete OG record is of course available here, as you probably already know:
http://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/

ARRS has 20-deep national all-time performance lists for track and road distances that can supplement what you would already have from these other sources:
http://www.arrs.net/AllTime/AllTime.htm

Athletic Association of Ireland less helpful here as their AT lists are performer, not performance.
