We had a great day at the first day of the Woodie’s DIY Juvenile championships today with some brilliant performances by the girls.
Alison Armstrong came first in the U17 Steeplechase in 7:23.15 to better the championships record of our own Siobhan McGinley who clocked 7:31.37 in the same event 2012. Alison had travelled all the way back from the Gaeltacht in Galway to compete in her race – that’s dedication!!
Cliona Carthy also had a brilliant run and went on to take Siobhan’s U18 record (7:38.31) when winning the U18 Steeplechase in 7:24.75.
In the sprints Alison Burke came 7th in the U14 80m Sprint final in a time of 10.90 seconds and 4th in the long jump with a PB of 4.81
Sophie English came 7th in the U12s 60m final in 8.83 seconds and 13th in the High Jump clearing 1.15m.
Chloe Corcoran came 8th in the U13 80m in a time of 11.02 seconds.
In the field events, Muireann McGinley (Our clubs only pole vaulter!) placed second in the U17 girls pole vaulter clearing 2.10m.
