Well done to a delighted Aoife Corr who notched up another 800m PB at the graded meeting in Santry last night. Aoife finished strongly behind Clare Brennan who ran a big seasons best and won the grade A race. Edel McNamara wasn’t far off her best, Aoife Donaghy was just inside her best time. Gillian Murphy was below her best and rightly called time on a long season. Earlier in less than ideal conditions Sam and Ashley ran well despite the lashing rain in their 100m races. Well done Everyone.

Well done to Jodie who has been selected for the Irish team to run in the 1500m and 3000m at European Juniors in Sweden next week. Her brother Luke and Pierre flew out to Sweden yesterday for the European under 23 Championships. Best of luck to all!
