A great run by Sean Donoghue today in Santry saw him win the 1500m NationalJunior championship for the 2nd time. Very hard race to win once but even harder to retain a title. Great result! Joe Fogarty ran a very good 1500m in the B race adding a 1500m pb to his 800m pb from yesterday. Lauren Tinkler won the under 23 women’s 5k title, Craig Duffy ran in the 100m and also competed in a very windy long jump competition. Well done to all.
Next weekend Craig, Sean, Lauren and Joe will be back to Santry for the National seniors.

Results update
Round 3 of the Dublin juvenile championship were held in Tallaght on Friday night and we had 9 young athletes in action. First off were the six heats of the 200m under 14 and we had one athlete in every heat! Aimee Ryan won her heat and automatically made the final. Goda was just pipped into 2nd place in her heat and narrowly missed a place in the final. Jocelyn , Bianca , Erin and Aoibhinn all ran really well in very competitive heats. Aimee came back later for her final and finished 4th when the first 5 almost crossed the line together. Great race! George, Hugh and Bruce all fought hard in the 600 m heats for boys under 13. Great to see competition again, it been such a long time since the last races and although there are still hugely restricted hopefully we get dates this week for further events. Well done to all the above.
Thanks to all the parents for bringing the children and supporting them.
