Well done to Cliona Carthy who won the steeplechase at the East Leinsters in Irishtown today. Cliona will now join Alison Armstrong in the Leinsters on the 18th of May.

We had most of our older gang in action in Tallaght.First off was the womens 1500m and Claire Brennan was our best performer running 4.49 just outside her personal best, Niamh Donnelly who is in the middle of her finals in Trinity was next in running 4.58 not far off her best time ever. Sinead Cronin, Cliona Murphy, Heather, Aislinn and Alison all finished outside the 5 minute mark.
In the 800m races Ritchie ran 2.01.05 which wasnt bad, Michael Fitzpatrick ran 2.03.93 in his first 800m, Dylan ran his best time in 2.08.20, Danny ran 2.12.62.

The 3000m was the final track event and Pierre was running his first 3k on the track. He ran a great race fininhing in a time of 8.46.9 which was inside the European Youth Olympic qualifiying time. Unfortunately the timing equipment didnt function due to diminishing light and the time wont count but at least we know he can do it! Great run.
