A big well done to the girls who competed in Tullamore today.
Our sprinters were first on the track today this morning. Catherine came 1st in the 100m (+2.1) with a time of 11.77 and Steffi 2nd in 11.79 – a great race! Steffi then went on to win her 3rd National U23 200m title. Celtic DCH officially has the 2 fastest U23 women sprinters in Ireland this year! Watch the U23 Womens 100m race here.
The speedy pair then ran TWO relay races in an attempt to secure a relay qualifying time for the European Under 23s which unfortunately didn’t work out – strong swirling headwinds and relays don’t mix! Watch one of the Womens U23 relay team’s attempts at the time here.
Our middle distance girls had some absolutely horrible conditions to run in as it lashed on them (Cleared up nice and sunny once they crossed the finish line though, typical eh?) Claire Brennan came third in the Junior Womens 1500m with Cliona Carthy in 4th and Cliona Murphy in 8th. Sinead Cronin came second in the U23 1500m.
5 National medals not a bad days work! Well done girls!
