Dylan McLoughlin, Sean Burke and Jack Hickey were the club representatives at the All Ireland Juvenile Track & Field Championships held in Tullamore at the weekend. It is great to see the club represented in such a prestigious competition where the top athletes from around the country have qualified to compete. Dylan was the first into action and he ran a steady and controlled race in the Boys U/16 800mts to finish a very creditable 12th overall in a time of 2.15.58. Next up was Sean who competed in the U/17 Javelin and High Jump. On a day of mixed fortunes for Sean he was extremely happy with his Javelin placing of 9th with a throw of 28.16 but never got the run up for the High Jump correct and eventually finished 5th. Jack was in action in the Boys U/17 400mts and powered around the track to finish 6th overall in 55.03 less than half a second from a personal best. Well done to all three athletes firstly on the achievement of reaching this level of competition and secondly on their performances against the best in the country.
