Munster U/23 Track & Field Champion
Katie Bergin made the journey to MTU Cork on Sunday last and in ideal weather conditions produced a stunning performance to claim the Munster U/23 200mts title in a new personal best time of 24.90 secs, the first time to go under the 25 sec barrier and the first club athlete to achieve this feat in the history of the club. Running an exceptional race and an equally efficient bend she powered away from the opposition to claim the title. This followed on from her second place in the 100mts (12.47) where she left the winner of that race in her wake in the 200mts. The time for the 200mts now puts Katie in amongst the top 12 in the Country over that distance. Congratulations Katie, all the hard work is paying off.
