Our four athletes who travelled to Templemore on Saturday last for the Munster “B” Track & Field Championships gave it their all on the track and on the field returning with one gold and one silver medal both won by Dylan McLoughlin. It was Dylan who was again the star of the show winning the Boys U/16 800mts with a great display of front running, crossing the line in 2.16.01 just a couple of seconds outside his pb. He also took part in the U/16 Long Jump and despite some technical difficulties still came away with a silver medal leaping 4.39mts to finish second. First into action on the day was Sean Boland who competed in the Boys U/10 Long Jump. In a very competitive event he had three fine jumps, the best of which was 3.16mts and this saw him finish in 8th place overall. Then came Alana Spillane in the Girls U/10 500mts where she kept pace with the leaders throughout only to be run out of the medals in the final 80mts to finish 7th overall in a time of 1.47.65. Our final athlete to compete on the day was Saoirse Doran, who despite a nasty foot injury, put it all behind her to run a superbly contested race. In with a great shout of a medal throughout the race she fought gamely to the line to finish 6th overall in 2.07.20. Well done to all four athletes on being a credit to their families and the club.
