Each athletics club was recently asked by Athletics Ireland to nominate a Juvenile member to act as an Ambassador and to participate in a parade celebrating the 150th edition of the National Track & Field Championships at the end of June. A very prestigious opportunity for any young athlete and a huge honour to be part of these celebrations representing our club. After the parade they will take part in a 150m run on the track in front of all Athletics fans.

Our chosen Ambassador is someone who at aged 7 joined our Fundamental Athletics group training in the Presentation. She has consistently attended training with a smile as she progressed on to the Secondary School training group. She has attended many club events, Winter Leagues and County Championships over the years and always gives her all with a smile on her face.

Best wishes from everyone at Menapians AC to Orla Dolan pictured at training with her training crew and coaches. We hope you and your family have a great day.

Anyone interested in attending the National Championships can bring U16's free of charge to the National Track & Field event, full details on Athletics Ireland website.
