Another busy day of indoor competition in Abbottstown today. The 600/800m races were first off at 10am. Mia, Cara, Ellie and Íde were all in action. All were competitive in their races.
In the 800m races there were pb performances from Juliette, Lauren, Amelia, Freya, Lelia, Jessica, Ella, Abigail and a pb and 4th place ( just missed 3rd), from Pearl in the under 16 race. Great running from all the girls!

The sprints got under way in the afternoon with Maisie and Maggie running well in their heats , Sean having a great first outing since joining the sprints group last year, finishing 4th in the final of the 60m under 15!

Martha improved on her heat time in her final finish 5th just outside her seasons best.
Meanwhile Hector was making waves at the high jump clearing a new pb of 1m 50cm and winning the under 14 boys event. Great jump!
