Competitions are coming thick and fast these Days! Last Wednesday night in Tallaght our big kids were in action in graded meeting number 2. Catherine McManus got the ball rolling with a win in the 200m. Aoife Ni Bhroin came 4th in her 200m. In the 1500m Niamh Donnelly won her race and Cliona Murphy ran a very good time in the same race. Aislinn Moorehouse ran a good race winning the B 1500m for women. Christopher and Annraoi ran in the mens 1500m and will learn from the experience.
Leinster Schools day 2
On Saturday we had Pierre in the Senior boys 800m where he finished 5th in a very competitive race close to his personal best time. An hour later he lined up in the senior 1500m where he was once again up against a very strong field. The race was tactical, practically jogging for the first half and then got into a real dogfight for the last lap. Pierre was 4th with 200m to go but never gave up the fight and was rewarded with a bronze medal. Cliona Murphy was next into action in the senior girls 1500m and ran a very smart race, covering all the moves and ended up in a fine 3rd place with a new personal best of 4min49secs. Well deserved!
Meanwhile in Tallaght our little people were having a busy day. In the 200m the under 11 girls gang of Antonio, Antoninette, Julieanne, Keelan and Alex all ran well. Clare Murphy was very strong in her race and others to impress were Chloe, Emily and Emily, Dora, Ella Mae, Finn, Alison Burke and Caoimhe. Well done to all and if we have ommitted anyone please accept our apologies.
At the D7ET 5K and 7k races in the Park on Sunday Ella Mae won the girls race and Oscar Moloney Daly won the boys event. Great stuff!
