Dublin Graded 1 2022

The first Dublin Graded League took place last night in Tallaght. It was deceptively cold following a sunny day and our athletes acquitted themselves well! Aoife and Joe produced solid runs in the 800M. Ellen lead most of her race to record her first track win in a time only a few seconds below her PB, while Conor following a period of solid training lower his PB by almost 60 secs. Brill running – well done on a great kick off to the 2022 outdoor season!
