Our DCHers had a great day at the IUAA Championships in Athlone today (6th Feb).
First up we had Catherine McManus who battled hard in the women’s 60m hurdles and came 2nd with a new PB of 8.44 seconds which was a DCU record and moved her to joint 4th place on the Irish All Time List. With little time to recover, Catherine then went on to place 3rd in the women’s 60m against a top class field in the Championships and ran a SB of 7.54 seconds.
We then had Steph Creaner who blasted to 1st place in the women’s 200m and set a massive new PB, IUAA & DCU record of 23.82 seconds! This time also moves Steph to 4th on the Irish All Time list. A fantastic days work from our sprinters!
Representing the DCH middle distancers, we had a great run by Clare Brennan who placed 3rd in the 1500m in a great time of 4.43 and Niamh Donnelly placed 6th in a time of 2.17 in a stacked field in the 800m. The day was finished off with Catherine and Steph making up half of the DCU 4x200m relay team who had a comfortable win and stormed to a new IUAA record! More pictures to follow!
