Chamney runs for the Crusaders AC club whilst in Dublin and has been on an athletics scholarship at the University of Notre Dame, South Bend, Indiana where he is a senior studying English. Chameny earned All-America honours at the 2007 NCAA Indoor Championships, picking up his first career citation with a sixth-place finish in the 800-metre run at the Randall Tyson Track Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas. He represented Ireland in the 800 metres at the European Athletics Championship in 2006 and at the European Indoor Championship in 2007. Chamney is a former Irish U23 800m champion and was 5th in the 2005 European U23 Championship.
