Our athletes had a good day at the AAI games in Athlone . First into action was Catherine McManus in the womens 60m where she finished a very good 3rd. Catherine followed this up with a win in a new personal best time in the 60m hurdles and then ran her first ever 200m where she finished 4th overall. Tired legs!

Aoife Ni Bhroin was next into action and she ran a personal best in the 800m. Alison Armstrong and Niamh Donnelly ran in the 1500m with Niamh coming 1st and Alison 3rd. Pierre was last to race and he ran a great race winning in a new personal best time. Well done to all. You can watch all the races on line. Go to AAI website and you can get a link to the site.

We got the sad news on Saturday of the death of Elsie Nagle, Dermots mother at the great age of 99. All the older athletes and parents will know the great work that Dermot does for our club athletes and we extend our sympathies to him and his family at this sad time. Her funeral mass will be at 10am on Tuesday morning in Aughrim St Church.

At the National Junior and under 23s at the weekend we had mixed results. Catherine Mc Manus was our medal winner coming 2nd in the hurdles under 23 and 4th in a very competitive 60m sprint final. Pierre Murchan ran well in the junior 1500m and finished 6th in a time of 4.16.17 just four days after winning the West Leinster schools cross country. Alison Armstrong and Cliona Murphy missed their better event the 1500m and ran in the 800m with both of them running close to their best times. At the Welsh Indoor games Steffi Creaner had a very good run to win the 200m and came 5th in the final of the 60m. Well done to all.
