Celtic DCH

It was bronze all round for our medal winners in Tullamore at day 1 of the National juveniles. Alison Burke led the charge winning bronze in the 100m hurdles under 18. Next up was the 800m races and Sean Donoghue got his 800m career at Nationals off to a good start with an impressive 3rd just outside his pb and inches off 2nd place. Daire Finn had a tough day with 2 heats in the under 19 boys 800 but he qualified comfortably for the final. Less than an hour later he lined up for the final and ran a great race powering over the last 150m to snatch a well deserved bronze medal.

Others competing today were Clare o.Connor and Golden in the high jump under 14, Golden also did the hurdles Niamh o Connor and Fiona in the under 12 high jump, Emily Murphy in the 800m under 17. Lots of experience gained today. Well done everyone!

Niamh Donnelly made the trip to Mary Peter’s track very worth while on Wednesday as she ran a great new pb in the 1500m getting very close to breaking 4 minutes 30. In Irishtown Clare Brennan had a great battle in her 800m, just getting caught on the line marginally off her pb. Aoife. Edel and Ella Mae also ran in the 800m races and the full results will be on Dublin Athletics website later today. Well done everyone.

Emily Corcoran returned to good jumping form today taking a silver medal in the National junior high jump. Emily had been stuck on 1.55 to 1.60 on her last few outings and was delighted with her 1.65 today and narrowly missed 1.68. Next time Emily! Alison Burke was very happy with her bronze in the 100m hurdles and she also finished 5th in the 400m hurdles earlier.
Pierre got trapped on the inside in a very slow 1500m and wasn’t helped by incorrect lap counter and no bell to indicate last lap which led to confusion for a lot of the runners in his race. In the junior womens race Fian o Sullivan finished 3rd also in a tactical race. Well done to everyone.
