Leinster Indoor Championships

A number of the clubs young athletes were in action at the Leinster Indoor Championships in Athlone over the weekend.

Elijah Page Redmond qualified for the boys u16 final and finished 5th, a good result as he was a bit under the weather.

His brother Lucas also competed in the 60m, qualifying for the final where he finished 7th. He also ran well in the 200m qualifying for the final but could not take part due to a little niggle.

Alex Lonergan took part in the long jump, setting a new personal best.

Orla Dolan and Meabh McCormack were busy competing in the 200m, long jump and sprint hurdles.

Orla and Meabh received a Leinster silver and bronze medals for their performances at the national indoor combined events back in January, an event which incorporated a Leinster Championships.

Thanks to Padraig Kelly & Catherine O’Connor who officiated at the event.

Great to see this group of young athletes improving every time they compete gaining valuable experience.
