Congratulations to our u18 athlete Killian McEntee who represented Fr Murphys at Nationals last week in the CE where he placed a fantastic 6th place overall 🔥🔥

The decathlon consists of 10 track and field events spread over a demanding two-day period:
Day 1: 100m sprint, Long Jump, Shot Put (5kg for U18), High Jump, and 400m run.
Day 2: 110m hurdles, Discus throw, Pole Vault, Javelin throw, and 1500m

Killian held his own in a talented field of athletes and placed 2nd in the 1.5kg Discus with a throw of 26.87 3rd place in PV with a PB of 2m, 4th in the 700g javelin with a PB and 5th in both the shot and 1500m finish.

This young man has plenty of strength and talent and was determined to set a new PB in his 1st CE at National level. Congratulations to Killian 👏👏👏

We are all very proud of his achievement and effort!
