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
Good Experience in Switzerland
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
