Club athletes had a great day in Tullamore today at the all Ireland schøol’s championship. Highlight of the day was the fantastic win by st Dominic’s college girls in the junior sprint relay with Martha, Erin and Aimee on the winning team. Classy baton changes and great team work combined with a heroic last leg from Aimee bagged the gold medal by a whisker!
In the senior relay our club team represented St Dominic’s with Clare, Goda, Lily and Cliodhna bagging a surprise 3rd place (went in ranked 4th), great running from 4 middle distance girls to place 3rd in a 4x 300 m race. Emotional day for Clare as it was her last outing in a St Dominic’s vest and a nice ending of her schools athletic career which will set her up in good form for the Leaving cert exams next week.
Goda ran in the mile under 16 earlier in the day and finished 5th and like all the team was delighted with her bronze relay medal as she faces into junior cert exams next week. Well done girls. We are so proud of you all. Thank you to all the Mams and Dads who brought the teams to Tullamore and supported them today.
