On Sunday some of our older athletes were in action competing for Slí Cualann in the Jun/U23’s and it proved to be a day of medals and PB’s once again. Caoimhe Basquille won the 100m hurdles in 13.3s and jumped 1m65 to take silver in the HJ. Ellie Hartnett took gold in the 400m in 61s, Ferdia Kenny took silver in the 100m and the 200m with a new PB of 22.2s and bronze in the LJ. Ferdia and Cormac Hanlon were members of the U23 relay team that won gold  medals. Meanwhile, Niamh Kearney was competing in an international event in Switzerland where she had another great run in the 800m finishing in 2m13s. She also ran a 57s leg of the 4x400m relay. These athletes will all be in action on Sat at the schools All Irelands along with Claire Foley in the 100m and 200m and Sean Ryder in the javelin. Good luck to all.
