Kyrell Mtinsi and Cathal Rossiter were our two representatives at the national Indoor Combined Events held in Athlone at the weekend. Both athletes finished 8th in their respective penthatlons, Kyrell in U15 and Cathal in U16. A quality 800 by Kyrell, clocking 2.16, boosted his finishing place. This was Cathal’s first outing in indoor track and the experience will be very beneficial going forward.
Over in the USA Shay McEvoy was representing his college, Tulsa University, in the Larry Wieczorek Invitational, the 1 mile Hawkeye Pro, in Iowa. Having a go at coming under the four minutes he gave it a fair challenge. Finishing a close second in 4.01.49 it can’t be long before he joins that “special” cohort of sub fours.
