A number of club members made the trip to Athlone today for the All-Ireland u20/u23 Indoor Championships.
Phil Healy had a mixed day, in the u23 age group she false started in the 60m heats but won the 200m later in the day. She also contested an extra 60m race where she clocked 7.41 which was the fastest womens 60m of the day. Laura McSweeney was 2nd in u23 Shot Putt. Patrick McSweeney was 2nd in the u23 Weight for Distance and 3rd in the Shot Putt. Shane Howard won the u23 Long Jump and also contested the 60m but narrowly missed out on a place in the final. Thomas McCarthy was 10th in the u23 800m.
In the Junior age group, Joey Henchy and Scott Gibson contested the 60m and both qualifed for the final and ran new personal bests of 7.12 with Joey placed 6th and Scott 7th. Promise Okafor was 2nd in the triple jump and 4th in the Long Jump. Gavin Hicks had a new personal best of 11.60m and finished 6th in the Shot Putt early in the morning and later in the day he placed 2nd in the Weight for Distance.
Well done to all involved.
