In 1971 Sligo A.C was formed to promote athletics in and around the area of Sligo Town. Organised athletics had always been strong in the County with nearby Calry A.C blazing a trail from the mid 60's. Soon the black & white of newly formed Sligo A.C were appearing at local and regional meetings of track & field, road and cross country competitions. Under expert coaching, local talent flourished a

nd the club produced champions at regional and national level. Athletes such as Brendan Mooney (cross country); Joe philips (Javelin); Stephanie O'brien (Shot Putt); Kevin Martin (high Jump); John McDermott (400 hurdles); Padraig Callaghan (Decathlon); Michael Casey (Race Walking); Roddy Gaynor (800m);Adrian Hampson (1500m); and the late Ciara O'Harte (Sprints)and more recently Lucy Brennan (Marathon) and Emmet Dunleavy & David Kelly (Cross Country) have served the club with great Distinction.

The clouds and the showers couldn’t dampen a wonderful day of athletics in Claremorris on Saturday 6 June. All of our u9-u13 athletes who competed should be proud of themselves - every one giving their all with pbs, medals and just great running, jumping and throwing all round; another positive step in their athletics development.

Thanks to all parents for their support and cooperation and for being there with smiles and kindness to console, cajole and congratulate; and of course thank you to our club coaches and officials for the time and effort they put in.

Special congratulations to our juveniles who now progress to the national finals:

Ide McDermott & Ceoladh Gormley, silver u9 long jump

Sarah Cashell & Eadaoin Ginty, gold, gold u10 long jump

U12 girls relay - bronze
Indie Shanley-Gillen, Riley Lyons, Jasmine Keaney & Eabha Cronin

Saoirse Higgins, silver (apologies) u13 60m hurdles

Thank you to Claremorris AC for hosting and to Connaught Athletics and officials.
