Catherine 2nd in National Indoor 200m

Another weekend of indoor action for our older athletes saw us getting closer to the end of indoor season 2019! Highlight of the weekend was Catherine McManus winning a silver medal in the 200m less than an hour after digging deep in the 400m final and narrowly missing out on 3rd place. Alison Burke finishing a fine 4th in the 60m hurdles final, Daire Finn was in contention in the 1500m final but didn’t have the energy when the long sprint for home got going but did well that’s finish 6th. Caoimhe Lynam ran a solid 400m in a quality heat and didn’t progress to the final on this occasion.

Muireann equalled her PB in the pole vault yet again in a good quality pole vault competition. Cliona Murphy and Jodie McCann both had good PBs in the 3000m. Clare Brennan continues her return to fitness just missing out on a final place in the 1500m.

Well done to everyone. Thank you to all the young ones who looked after the kit baskets. You did a great job! Thanks to all the parents and friends who supported our athletes at the weekend.
