The Great Gorey Run
There were two options this morning in Gorey 5km or 10 mile. Eamonn Foley, Rob Casey and Jesse Kielthy decided it was 10 miles for them and had superb runs to finish in 1:13:42 for Rob finishing position of 31st place and 1:14:33 for Jesse finishing in 35th place and Eamonn in 1:22:17 finishing in 69th place.
Well done Eamonn, Rob and Jesse who have trained consistently and showed steady improvements over the last year.
Leinster Indoors, National Indoor Arena Abbotstown.
A huge well done to all our athletes who were busy competing in Abbotstown at the Leinster Indoors over the weekend.
Our Senior 4x400m relay team of Helen Wallace, Ilze Bedrite, Mary Gaynor & Catherine O'Connor ran 5:36.65 and claimed the silver medal.
Catherine was also very busy competing in O55 weight for distance throwing 3.83m and claimed a Silver medal for herself and claimed gold in O55 1500m with a 6:29.73, well done.
Also congratulations to Sarah Louise Carr who was competing in the Junior ladies weight for distance and threw a number of pb's finally hitting 5.89m for another fantastic Silver medal. Congratulations Sarah.
On Sunday our U15 boys were running the 4x200m relay gaining some valuable track experience. The recently formed team of Elijah Page Redmond, Alex Lonergan, Josh Nolan, Lorcan Carroll & Rory Henderson had a good run in 1:58:02 and were unfortunate not to make the final missing out by 1 place. Well done boys.
Thanks to Padraig, Mick, Tracey and Catherine for their time officiating and coaching over the 2 days and thanks to the boys parents for taking the time to travel up.
