National Juvenile championships Day2
Day 2 of the Nationals kicked off for us with Danny in the 400m where he ran well but didnt make the final. Next we had Pierre and Cliona Murphy in their 800m races which are a bit short for them both. They both ran well but found the pace and the weather a bit hot for them. Chloe and Emily both jumped really well in the high jump under 13. First did 1.43, 2nd 1.40 and 6 girls tied on 1.35, when the countbacks were done Chloe was 4th and Emily 6th with a pb of 1.35.
Great Performances In Tullamore

Cliona Carthy also had a brilliant run and went on to take Siobhan’s U18 record (7:38.31) when winning the U18 Steeplechase in 7:24.75.
In the sprints Alison Burke came 7th in the U14 80m Sprint final in a time of 10.90 seconds and 4th in the long jump with a PB of 4.81

Community Games trophies
Just a reminder that all winners of Dublin Community Games who received trophies need to get them engraved. Irish Rubies which is located behind the Pro Cathedral in Marlborough St will do this for free. From memory they may not be open on Mondays. Please do it shortly because its very easy to keep putting it off and before you know it June 2014 is here and the trophy not engraved.
