Friday

Day 1 of the Dublin Championships got off to a winning start for the club on Friday night when Keelan Gogarty had a great win in the under 9 girls 500m. Keelan had a great battle with a girl from Blackrock AC but she held on well to win the outdoor title to add to the indoor title she won in March. Well done Keelan! Our other medal winner was Cliona Murphy who ran a great race to come 2nd in the under 17 girls 800m.  Others who ran well tonight were Liam Burke, Laura May, the Murphy gang, Dora, Alex Corr, Aoife Corr, Alison Armstrong, Ben, Sarah Byrne, Luke and Danny.

Our entries for Day 3 of the Dublin Championships in Santry next Sunday starting at 12 noon have been updated on the Training Updates Page

Two of our club athletes were competing in the Geneva International meeting on Saturday the 2nd of June and in the Chaux -de- Fonds meeting on Sunday the 3rd of June. Catherine equaled her seasons best of 13.88s in the 100m hurdles in Geneva  and Steffi got a new seasons best in the 200m with 24.41s. Despite the very windy and wet conditions on Sunday Steffi won her 200m race and Catherine made it into the finals of the ‘A’ 100m coming 7th against some very fast sprinters. Overall the girls should benefit from their experience of competing against top opposition in very competitive settings. Links here to the 100m Geneva; Links here to the 100hm Geneva
