National Juvenile Indoor Championships

A great weekend in Athlone for the National Juvenile Indoor Championships. Tom Gallagher was in sparkling form winning gold in the under 13 boys long jump with a fine leap of 4.61m and also the high jump with a jump of 1.40m. Tom also made the final in the hurdles. Neasa Murphy won silver in the under 17 high jump and was very unlucky not to win gold...just clipping the bar with her heels. Kellie Meade had a fine leap of 1.55m to win bronze in the under 18 high jump and also was fourth in her hurdles final. Paul Murphy had a superb pb to win bronze in the under 18 200m and was also third in the 400m. Stephen Walsh had a super pb in his 200m under 17 for the bronze medal. Siobhan Whelan won a brilliant bronze in the u 18 triple jump just a few cm off gold and was fifth in the long jump again just a few cm off a medal. Chloe Farrell was fourth in the long jump u 14. Damon Crowley ran really well for 8th in the 1500m u 18. Sinead O Regan was fourth in her 60m. Cormac McCann was so unlucky in his sprint events being disqualified for a false starts. Sean Whittle was just outside the medals in his high jump u 18 and Frankie Dolphin just missed out on making the final in his hurdles u 15. Well done to everyone who competed.
