Day Two

Great Jump by Sarah
Sarah Curran was the star of the day on the second day of the Northern Ireland indoor championships adding 7cm to her personal best in the high jump. Sarah jumped 1m67cm which would have got a silver medal in the National Semior womens event on Saturday night!  Cliona Murphy was our best performer on the track coming a fine 2nd in the under 17 girlls 800m.  Pierre coming back from illness ran out of steam in the boys 800m  In the National senior championships  Steffi Creaner ran another new pb to win the 200m in fine style. Catherine Mc Manus ran a new pb in the heat of the hurdles but got a bad start in the final and there is no margin for error in a 60m hurdles.   Catherine and Steffi are travelling to Glasgow on Saturday to compete in the Scottish indoors.

Day One

Eight Celtic athletes made the trip to Belfast today to compete as guests in the Northern Ireland age group championships in the Odyssey. Everyone enjoyed the day and really enjoyed running and jumping in a beautiful warm stadium. Ciara Hanley was first off and she came 3rd in her heat of the 60m, Eric Duffy was 5th in his heat of the 60m sprint. In the 800m Aoife Corr and Ellen Byrne were both impressive winners of their heats but all the medals went to the runners in the first heat. The girls were 5th and 6th overall. Results were decided on overall times. In the boys 800m Conall Regan finished just a second faster than Jamie Kennedy, James Scanlon  and Luke Hanway our next to finish. Michael Hanley ran very well in his heat of the 800m.  Finn Burke -Power was having his first outing over the 60m hurdles and did really well to make the final finishing a fine 4th. The Lads ran in the relay as guests and finished 2nd in their heat.  Day 2 will be updated tomorrow.
