It took place in TUS-Athlone campus at the weekend.
There were a number of juveniles who qualified through from their Leinster Championships to take their place amongst the best athletes in the country over the weekend at the All-Ireland Juvenile Indoor Championships.
The competition was held over two days in the Technological University of the Shannon, Athlone. Competition throughout the weekend was extremely tough with medals very hard won.
On day one of the competition Adam Kelly was the stand-out performer claiming a silver medal in the Boys u13 Long Jump. The exceptional standard in underlined by the fact that Adam jumped a new PB of 4.51m to take second place.
We had two athletes competing in the Girls u13 Shot Putt, Abbie Delaney and Lily Brophy. Lily finished in 9th place with a best throw of 6.86m, while Abbie was just outside the medals in 5th place with a new PB of 7.93m.
Our final athlete competing on day one was Rachel Ayers in the Girls u16. In a packed field Rachel ran a great race to take 8th place. The fantastic performances didn’t let up on Day 2 either. Laura Ayres got the day off to a great start taking second in the Girl's U.12 600m after winning her time-trial heat in a massive PB.
Adam Kelly made it a very successful weekend when he backed up his silver medal from yesterday with bronze in the 60m hurdles. Katie Baldwin improved her PB in the Triple Jump once again to take bronze. Katie’s jump of 9.77m in the Triple Jump followed on from her 5th place in the heats of the Girls u17 60m hurdles.
While Aoibhin McDonald also claimed bronze in the Pole Vault equalling her PB of 2.50m. Ciara Milton finished 6th in her heat in the Girls U13 600m to round off a very successful weekend for the club where five athletes secured medals, with a host of others getting great experience against the best athletes from around the country.
Well done to each of the athletes, their parents, families and each of our dedicated club coaches who help to prepare these athletes week in week out.
