What a busy time! Cork City Sports is barely over and it’s off to Santry on Friday night for the Morton Games. For Pia Langton it’s her third race inside a week so clocking 2.09.40 for the 800 is no mean achievement. Cliodhna Manning continued her good season performances with a sub 53 seconds (52.94) for the 400.
Then it’s off to Tullamore for Day 3 of the national juveniles. Once again we had good results across all the ages especially, but not exclusively, in the sprints.

U15 Ella Sorohan 2-200 (25.57).
