Another great weekend of firsts for our juvenile athletes at the track and field Leinster championships in Tullamore. We had 7 athletes on Saturday and 5 make the journey down today. To say we are proud of these children is an understatement. This level of competition is so high so to see athletes make strong finishes and achieve PB’s is fantastic. A special mention to Aoife Kelly who placed 2nd in the U14 high jump and will now progress to nationals alongside Ava Fahy, Holly Johnston and Emma Kelly Harney who ran on the U17 inter county relay 4x100m and placed a brilliant 3rd to also continue to nationals.

We had an U11 girls relay team represent the club at the Leinster relay championships in Carlow yesterday. Despite the rain these girls kept smiling managing to place 2nd in their heat and 7th overall out of 25 teams. A great first experience for them competing at such a high level.
Next up was our U13 girls. These girls ran a blinder in their heat and made the top 8 fastest times overall but were unlucky to not progress to the final as they were in the fastest heat. Great experience gained to bring with them to the next race 💪🏻

What a day of firsts for some of our juvenile athletes who took part today in the U12/U13 and juvenile Leinster competition in Tullamore. 12 athletes in total competed with several making it into finals in their events. A special mention to Ryan Kelly who placed 2nd in the U12 high jump and will now progress to nationals. There was also new pb’s and most importantly smiles all around as they supported each other and embraced the experience.

On Friday the 15th of May over 40 Striders partook in the 5 mile. This race is becoming a highlight in the racing calendar for the club. A fast course with a warm reception afterwards, what more could you ask for!

For the 3rd year in a row the Striders brought home the winning team top prize. And well done to .pe.obrien for winning the M50 category. We also had a massive turn out from the C25k contingent. Well done at all and thank you to for a great event!

Thank you to Naas Sport and Cultural for the photos
