Round 2 of the Juvenile League took place in Tallaght today, and in a break from the season todate it was a rain free event, indeed it was quite pleasant! With several of the club`s athletes preparing for next week`s Leinster Schools finals it was a much smaller troop that headed south across the M50 for the event that featured 200s for the sprinters, 1,000s for the middle distance group and javelin, long and high jump and shot for the field eventers.
Some really excellent performances from the black and amber, stand out one`s included young Michael Coleman U/12, very much an all rounder, with a 3rd place 200, and 2nd in the long and 1st high jump. An excellent one two from Ella Brown and Amy Hodson in the U/14 1,000, wins in the girls U/12 200 heat (several races with time to decide the winners) by Sally Sumola and Naoise Cullen and in the U/13 by Kirsten McGrady Hogan and Emma McDonnell and fine 2nd place finishes in the U/16 1,000 firstly by Hannah Browne and then minutes later by Jack Horan.
The athletes were in fantastic form and it certainly showed in their performances. We started great in the U-9’s and this trend continued to the very end. All and all a super day and, while we did see a delay to the timetable which really didn’t matter as the sun shone down on us, we witnessed some great performances – and even saw some people putting on sun protector !!! Roll on next week.
