Muireann Mc Ginley got day 2 of the Nationals off to a successful start with a gold medal winning jump in the Pole vault under 19 with a jump of 2m 75 , just 5 cm off her PB. Next into action were our two 400m athletes Caoimhe Lynam and Finn Burke-Power. Caoimhe was fighting a heavy cold and battled hard all the way despite feeling awful, didnt make the final but wasnt too far off her pb. Finn ran a steady pace in his heat and qualified easily for his final. Despite being ranked 4th going into his final he ran a well paced race and came 3rd in a new pb of 52.21. Finn has worked very hard all year and really deserved his bronze medal.
In the sprints which were held in horrible conditions Alison Burke and Chloe Corcoran both made their final with Alison finishing a very good 4th and Chloe finished 6th both in very tough competitions. Alison Burke started off Day 3 with a good run in her heat of the 250m hurdles and qualified well for the final. Unfortunately she false started and was disqualified in the final. In the 1500m races Sean Donoghue ( under 14) ran a great race and finished 5th in 4mins 39secs. Evan Mc Millan ran 4mins 24secs in his heat of the 1500m under 18 and Alison Armstrong was 6th in the final of the 1500m under 19. Chloe Corcoran ran herself to a standstill in the final of the under 15 girls 200m running 26.43 in 6th place having run a pb of 26.36 earlier in her heat. Well done to everyone!

More National medals today! Claire Brennan finished 3rd in the 1500m in a new pb of 4mins 39 secs in the National under 23 track and field championship in Tullamore today. In the junior pole vault Muireann Mc Ginley vaulted to 2nd place in a new pb of 2m 80cm. Great performances from both girls😀
We had five athletes in action at Day1 of the National Juvenile championships in Tullamore today. Alison Burke surprised herself and everybody else with a brilliant run in the final of the under 16 sprint hurdles where she finished 2nd. Alison last won a National medal at under 12 in the 60m so this was long awaited and well deserved. Next off was Alison Armstrong in the 3000m steeplechase. This was her first time to run over the full steeplechase distance and with over 30 barriers to jump it was a tough ask. Alison got stuck in from the start, really concentrated and with a very strong sprint finish was a delighted gold medal winner. Next into action was Emily Corcoran in the high jump under 15. Emily was very disappointed with her indoor jumping in Athlone earlier in the year but she jumped really well today and was rewarded with a bronze medal equalling her pb of 1m 55cm. Aoife Corr ran in the final of the 800m under 19 and ran very competively and may have got a pb but results were unavailable up to now. Finn Burke Power qualified for the final of the 800m but found 2 hard races back to back very tough although he gave it his very best. Well done to all, we have had worse days😊
