We had a small group of our older athletes competing in the first graded meeting in Santry on May 1st. Catherine McManus had a good season opener in the 100 finishing 3rd in the A race, Alison Burke came 6th also in the A race. Sam Whelan got a great start in the C 100 and powered his way up the track to an impressive win. Sara Byrne and Edel McNamara both ran well in their 800m races, Killian,Conor and Rowen all ran well in their first graded 800m. Everyone who competed has a time now and has a target to improve on for the rest of the season.
Well done everyone.

Caolan Collins and Clare o Connor were first into action for the club in the junior 1500m. Caolan was just caught on the line and finished 4th despite running very strongly, Clare finished in 6th place. In the inter race Gillian Murphy finished 3rd and Cliodhna Donaghy came 7th in her first track race in a long time. Celine Gavin also came 7th in the senior race, also a long time since she raced on the track. Ashley and Keelin both ran well making it through to the final of the inter 300m. Keelin teamed up with Alex Corr, Clare o Connor and another girl from school to win the under 16 4x 300m relay and then herself and Ashley ran the 300m final. Neither made it through to leinster but both ran well.. Keelin had 3 races over 300m in one hour!!! And was still standing!
Cliodhna Ryan had a solid run in the minor 1100m finishing 4th and Hazel Maguire was much improved coming 8th. Christopher had a solid run in the under 16 mile race. Day 2 is on Friday.
