At the IUAA Track & Field our members were competing as part of the WIT Viking AC. Aaron Smith secured a hard earned silver over 60m hurdles at AIT Athlone. A really strong second half of the race saw him take 2nd place. David McDonald also took a fine silver in the men’s 60m sprint final with a new pb of 6.89 showing some great form. Well done gentlemen.

The destination for the Sunday drive this week was Enniscorthy. Slaney Olympic were hosting their annual 10k today on a new 2 loop course for the first time. Feedback was good despite the biting cold wind which Slaney promise will be fixed next time out !
We had a total of 13 members braving the cold winds : Dermot Foley 41'55, Finbarr Bradley 43'29, Gavin Hayes 44'59, Jesse Kielthy 46'36, Michael Kinsella 47'00, Martin Kelly 47"34, Paula Gondard 48'53, Fran Power 51'24, Mary Gaynor 51'27, Louise Henderson 56'18, Sinead Ryan 1'05'11, Helen Sinnott 1'08'07 & Siobhan Doyle 1'11'56. John Dier, Bridie McGuire & Sharron Dier all started but unfortunately had to retire during the race.
Well done to all our athletes and thank you to Slaney Olympic for a well organised event and thanks for the superb hospitality afterwards.
