Day 1 of the Leinsters Juveniles took place in athlone today. Our first competitor of the day was Ailbhe White in the U18 400m heats, where she placed 3rd in heat 2, while also securing the 3rd fastest time of the 2 heats heading into the final. She was unfortunate to get the draw of Lane 1 for the final, none the less it didn't stop Ailbhe having a phenomenal start to the race Ailbhe held onto 3rd place after the cut in and held her own onto the third position to take home the bronze medal. Next up was Eimear Halpin in her last juvenile Indoor competition in the U19 400m. It was a straight final, from the tough lane of lane 2 and with a competitive field, Eimear held strong running a great race coming in 4th position. Finally we have Liam Berry competing in his first and last Juvinile Indoor in the U19 400m. Liam took on the race and with all his training paying off and his commitment to the event he was well rewarded with a bronze medal. Well done the Ailbhe and Liam as they progress to the Nationals in March.
