National Juniors/U23s & Welsh Indoor Championships 2015

At the National Junior Indoors in Athlone Cliona Murphy and Pierre Murchan ran really smart races when they both came 3rd in the 1500m event. Great to see both of them medalling indoors after racing in the schools cross country earlier in the week( and studying hard for their leaving cert mocks!) Well done to both. Cliona Carthy was carrying a niggle and dropped out of the 1500m and Alison Armstrong found the pace too much on the day and she finished 8th. Eoin Kavanagh also had a day off from mocks studying today and he had a great run in his first indoor 400m just missing out on a place in the final by one hundredth of a second! In the 800m events Finn Burke Power was in a great position looking like qualifying for the final when he tripped on the kerb of the track, lost balance and pace and unfortunately finished down the field. Ben and Evan found the pace a bit fast in their heats but will benefit from the experience. Good to see Siobhan Mc Ginley returning to racing after a long lay off when she competed in the 400m under 23 where she finished 4th.

North Leinster Schools

Ella Mae Cromie continued her fine form with an impressive win in the minor girls race in ALSAA, Libby Peppard was a very good 6th, with Ada Vasic running her first race in a long time finishing in a very good 11th place. Ella Mae led her team from Mt Temple to a narrow victory over St Dominics Cabra. In the Junior race Emily Murphy ran a very gutsy race finishing 6th, leading her team of Katie Hanna and Abbey Corr with another great run to 4th place just missing on a leinster qualifer. Oscar Moloney Daly had a very good run in the inter boys finishing in the top 15. The senior girls race was a battle between Cliona Murphy and Niamh Corry from Malahide with Cliona eventually coming a very good 2nd. Cliona led her team from St Dominics to first place with Ellen Byrne, Aoife Corr and a very impressive Aoife Donaghy (In her first cross country race). Well done to all:)

In the Minor girls race Chloe Corcoran finished a strong 4th, Alison Armstrong was 2nd in the senior girls, Ben Quinn was a very good 5th in the inter boys and Pierre Murchan won the senior boys. Caoimhe Lynan and Evan Mc Millan both ran very well in their races even though it was a bit on the long side for both.
