European Under 23 Championships

The club received great news today when it was announced that our two senior sprinters Catherine and Steffi have both been selected to represent Ireland at the European Under 23 championships in Finland on the 11th-14th of July.

Below is a little flashback of when the girls competed in the European Juniors together in the 4x100m relay in 2009!  How time flies! Watch that race here (Steffi 1st leg Catherine 3rd)

Great to see the girls progressing from the international Junior to the international U23 ranks. Both girls thoroughly deserve their selection and we are all very proud of them. All the grinding training sessions in gyms, tracks, hills, all the tears(many of them) along the way have paid off. Determination, courage and a lot of guts have got both of them there. Well done to the girls and their coaches.
