We had athletes involved in four events at Day 1 of the Nationals. First into action was Sarah Curran in the under 17 girls hurdles which was a straight final and Sarah surprised all of us and especially herself by finishing a fine 3rd winning her first medal at National on the track. Next we had Siobhan McGinley in the 3k steeplechase and despite not having done any hurdling this year Siobhan battled through and won her third National steeplechase gold in a row in a new championship best time. Alison Burke was next to race and she qualified well for her 80m final coming 2nd in her heat. In the final she was up against much stronger, bigger girls and finished in sixth place. Sarah Curran competed in the heats of the 100m under 17 and didnt make the final.
