Eanna Madden and Gerard O'Donnell were both in action in Brussels at the Grand Prix with Gerard running a solid 14.39 for the 110m Hurdles into a headwind of 1.7m/s. Eanna's bid to get the qualifying time for the World Student Games just fell short but not without two very solid efforts over 200m, running 21.21 & 21.25. Both lads will now head to the Nationals confident of some good performances.
In Tullamore, Toyosi Fagbo was our top performer with an excellent 5th place in the U14 80m Final while Clodagh Sheerin reached her first National Final and smashed her pb by almost half a second as she ran 13.06 to finish 8th in the U17 Final. Faith Lynott was another to finish in the top eight in Ireland, her throw of 6.42m good enough for eighth in the U12 Shot.
Alannah McGuinness was just one place outside the top eight as she finished ninth in the U16 100m.
Special mention to Shauna McCabe who suffered a horrendous hard fall in the U18 100m Heats, smashing to the ground. But typical of her great attitude, she got back up and with a bit of encouragement from Fiachra O'Dowd, finished the race to the applause of officials, spectators and athletes.
