Twelve of Bandon Athletic Club’s youngest juveniles were in action over the weekend of March 7th and 8th for the U9-U12 Munster Indoor Championships in Nenagh. Again this year the competition was extremely high with several of the championship records broken across all ages. Dara Walsh, Adam Barry, Coen Crowley, Laura Sheehy, Amy McCarthy and Maia McCourt competed in the U10 60m, 500m and long jump. All competed very well, with Laura Sheehy just missing out on a medal in the 60m, finishing in 4 place. In the U12 age group, Lucy T McCarthy, Lucy Callanan, Niamh O’Donovan, Callum McCourt, Henry Obialor and Jack Cullen competed in the 600m, 60m, long jump and shot putt. Again, all were very competitive with Callum finishing 5 in the 600m final and Lucy Callanan and Jack achieving PBs. Lucy jumped 3.95m taking a bronze medal in the long jump and Jack threw 7.92m in the shot putt earning him silver. Both athletes will now compete in the All Ireland Indoor Championships on Sunday March 22nd. Well done to all and best of luck to Lucy and Jack! Special thanks to Karen Callanan and Helen O’Donovan for helping out on the day.
