All Ireland Athletics Juveniles Day 1

An explosive series of repeated personal best performances saw Seán McCabe leap to Gold out to almost 7metres!! in the U-18 Long Jump, narrowly missing out on the Championship Best Performance.
This was immediately followed up with a solid Gold performance in the U-18 110metres High Hurdles. This perhaps had the impact to propel Glenn Carty & Briain Cullinan to great victory in their respective U-13 & U-16 sprint hurdles. Fabulous performances also from Gearoid Tuohy in a very pacey U-15 800m as well as Eva Sheridan in sprint hurdles and Ruairi McLoughlin in the U-15 Long Jump, as well as Ross Campbell in the U-15 Triple Jump.

This was Day 1 of the the 3 day Championships. Well done to those who proudly represented Sligo AC today and best of luck & fun to all who compete on the weekend after next.

Also a note of gratitude to our stalwart Anne McHugh who as usual officiated stoically as always.

Mari Johnston’s Class Act at Masters World Championships

Mari Johnston showed her true class in the Master’s World Championship in Poland today with an outstanding run to finish 3rd overall in the race and 2nd in her category with a time of 33:30.

As usual, Mari went out hard from the start and dug deep on the hilly 4-lap 8km course. In a star-studded field of national champions, Mari tore up the form book as she was ranked in the twenties on PB times. Previous DCM winner Annette Kealy pipped her for the gold which meant Ireland took home team gold.

Terry Hayes’s hill training on the rugby pitch is standing her in good stead. There will be bonfires lit in Cloonacool for her return tomorrow evening.

Donadea 50K

Donadea Forest Park in Co. Kildare was the venue for Irish 50KM National Championships today (Saturday). The event consists of 10 gruelling loops of forest roads and trails. David Kearins made the journey and finished 24th in 3:47 and 2nd M50.
