It was another wet day in Tullamore for the second weekend of the national juveniles. Once again it proved successful for our athletes. With just five athletes involved this time three of them came home with medals. For one, Cathal O’Reilly U19, it was his third of the championships. Having already won gold in the 3000m and silver in the 3000m steeplechase he completed the “hat-trick” with bronze in the shorter 1500m (4.04.90). Alex Cullen U16 won bronze in the 100m hurdles (15.09) and Conor Byrne U17 had a PB in the 400m winning bronze in 52.62. Ruth Crowley U14 placed 8th in 75m hurdles (12.95) and Noah Gilmore U17 placed 7th in the long jump (5.71). Well done all. Next weekend will see the end of the track season for our juvenile athletes and attention will turn to strength and stamina building over the winter months.
