Mr. Oil Juvenile County Championships Day 3
Sunday the 15th of May saw the third day of the 2022 Mr. Oil Juvenile County Championships. With a large crowd gathering from 10am to participate and support the athletes, it was certain to be a great day for clubs across the county. As always, Menapian’s AC was represented in great numbers with 17 athletes turning out across the various age groups.
Cuan Monaghan, Oisín Moran and Chloe Carroll performed very well in the under 9s age group with Cuan qualifying for the semi final in his 60m sprint. Oisín and Chloe also did very well in this event and all three participated in the turbo javelin and middle distance which was 300
metres for under 9s. A great effort by our three youngest competing athletes, well done Cuan, Oisín and Chloe.
Our sole athlete in Under 10s this week was Callum Redmond who qualified for the final in his 60m sprint. Well done Callum.
We had four athletes competing in under 11s. Training pals Nico Losak, Elijah Donegan and Max Gilhooley took part in the 60m sprint, high jump and turbo javelin with Max making the sprint semi final. Kelly Cousins also competed in the sprint. Great performances by all, well done.
Rory Henderson and Lily Siggins represented the club in Under 13s. Lily did very well to make the finals in the 60m hurdles and just missed out on a medal coming 4th in high jump. Lily also
competed in the sprint and javelin events. Meanwhile Rory took a silver medal in the 60m hurdles and bronze in high jump as well as making the final in the 80m sprint.
