Results update

Daire got day 1 of the National indoors off to a start for the club on Saturday in Athlone. This was his firstNational and he ran a solid race taking 2 seconds of his time in the recent Dublin indoors. Great experience for Daire.

Next into the arena was Jessica in her first 800m at National level and she did her best on the day in a very high standard race.

Martha competed in the afternoon and qualified for the 60m hurdles final where she finished 7th in a seasons best time.

Day 2 was led off by Pearl with 2nd place and a new pb in the 400m. Next up was our one and only race walker Íde with a powerful display of race walking whacking 14 seconds off her Dublin championship time and a fine 7th place out of 16 walkers ( at her first national), great performance!

Max has worked very hard on his shot putt during the winter and was rewarded today with a new pb and 7th place overall .

Rion and Martha raced well in the 60m heats but did not progress to the finals . As the sprints were going on we had two medal winners fighting it out in the pole vault and the high jump. Aoife finally cracked the 2.40m pb today in 3rd place ( lots of sprint training finally paying off), and Hector was just below his pb today but managed to finish in 2nd place.

Great weekend of athletics , lots of tears and cheers as always. Well done to all who competed this weekend and thank you to the parents who did the driving and the supporting 👏👏. Outdoor season here you come!
