A great day at the Leinster Juvenile Track and Field Championships for the boys: On the podium we had the following,
🏅 U12 John Hanlon coming home with a bronze medal in the 60m final. John also qualified for the final of the 600m finishing 7th in a very competitive race.
🏅 Congratulations also to Charlie Kane on a silver medal in the U12 High Jump. Charlie also competed in the 600m and ran a great race.
🏅 With a fantastic PB of 1:41 for the 600m Harry Drake came away with a well earned bronze medal in the u13 competition. Super progression for this young man in 2021. Well done Harry.
🏅🏅 What a day for our U12 Matthew Hyland at the Leinster Track and Field Championships in Carlow. With a PB of 1:45 in the final of the 600m, Matthew won a well earned bronze medal and then went and topped that off with PB of 1:28 in the high jump competition to take his first Leinster title.
Congratulations Matthew.
Great performances from our U12 and U13 athletes at the Leinster Track and Field Championships.
Tom Gormley:
U13 Tom had a busy day progressing through the heats in both the 80m and 600m to reach both finals. Tom finished just outside the medals in both events and came away with a great PB for his efforts over the 600m.
Aaron Etukurdoh: A newcomer
to competition, taking every thing in his stride, well done to Aaron on a super 4th place in the U13 80m final in his first leinster championships.
Katie O’Reilly:
Disappointed to have to sit the high jump out, Katie ran a great heat to finish 2nd and qualify for the U13 girls 600m final. A great way to finish off a year which has seen Katie continue to progress steadily.
Other great performances on the day came from:
Heloise Burke (U12 600m)
Eimear Ahern (U12 60m)
Sam Eglington (U12 60m)
