It was good to see Cliodhna Manning back on the startline in Santry today. Running in her usual 400m event she easily qualified for Sunday’s final with second place in her heat in 56.54. Sunday’s final was a different challenge. Up against Phil Healy and Sophie Becker meant a serious race. Cliodhna seemed slow over the first 200 but a strong finish brought her into third place and anew PB of 53.05.
It was also good to see Aaron Barron back in action. Aaron finished fourth in the heats of both 200 (24.03) and 400 (51.84). Jack Manning clocked 49.29 when placing 2nd in his 400m heat. On Saturday Eamonn O’Connor ran the 1500 in 4.13.05 and on Sunday Ger Forde ran the 5000 in 15.11.50.
