What a change the weather makes. The sun shone gloriously and the long winter was forgotten. A large number of our younger athletes performed brilliantly. There were many great individual performances and some lively competition in the relays – the competition not least between a number of KCH teams in various races. From our youngest medal winners -( Jasmine Timmons, Amelie O’Brien, Michael Ormond, Darragh O’Callaghan, all under 8s) – to our sole Senior medal winner – (Ciara Murphy ) – there were some marvellous results. Among the high achievers was Jennifer Leahy with three individual wins -200m, 300m hurdles and long jump. Double wins were achieved by a number of athletes including Rory McGabhan, Laura Leahy, Amelie Foley and Luke Dunne. Given the enjoyment had by all we look forward to more great competion next Sunday for Day 2 of the county championships. Special thanks to our distance athletes for turning from competing to acting as officials for the day and thus help in the efficient running of the championships.
