National Juvenile Track & Field

Well done to everyone who competed last weekend at the GloHealth Athletics Ireland Juvenile Championships in Tullamore, a busy couple of days for all our athletes.

Our top finisher was Ellis Conway who reached the U16 100m with a time of 13.25 in the heats where she finished 4th while she ran 13.40 in the final to finish eighth. Ellis was also in action on Sunday in the 200m where she finished tenth overall, her time of 27.34, also a new pb, leaving her 10th overall but unfortunately outside the final.

Caitlin Surlis was also in action in the same javelin and shot competitions, finishing 9th in the Shot with a throw of 8.60m and 11th in the javelin with 20.87m.

Emma O’Connell threw 8.82m to finish 13th in the U14 Girls Shot.

In the short sprints, Gerard Murtagh was closest to qualifying for the final, his time of 8.77 just 0.06 away from a place in the U12 60m Final while Sophie McCabe ran 11.34 in the U13 80m where she finished 13th overall

Oliver Charles was 15th overall in the U14 80m with 10.83 while Callum Whelan ran 12.36 in his U19 100m. Shauna McCabe was 15th overall in the U17 100m in a time of 13.77 while Fiachra O’Dowd ran 24.03 to finish 6th in his U18 200m heat.

Well done to everyone and special thanks to all the parents who travelled down to Tullamore to cheer on the gang.

 National Juvenile Relays

Eanna off to Amsterdam after National Senior 200m victory

Congratulations to Eanna Madden who has been picked for the Irish team for the European Track & Field Championships next week in Amsterdam after a fabulous victory in the 200m at the Glo Health Athletics Ireland Senior Track & Field Championships in Morton Stadium Dublin last Saturday.
Eanna won the 200m title with a clear-cut victory in a time of 21.37 seconds, despite suffering a hamstring strain midway through the race. It is his second Senior 200m title going with the title he shared two years ago with David Hynes of Menapians but there was never any danger of that as he dominated from gun to tape, despite his injury scare.
The victory saw Eanna confirm his place on the Irish 4 x 100m team for the European Seniors in Amsterdam as he joins up with Marcus Lawler, Jason Smyth, Jonathan Browning, Craig Lynch and Joseph Owejumi in the six man squad.
The relays will take place on Saturday, July 9, with the heats and the final on Sunday, July 10, and we wish Eanna and his team-mates the very best of luck.
Unfortunately, last weekend also saw the end of the dream for Gerard O'Donnell who has had his season blighted by injury. Gerard had one "B" time in the 110m hurdles and looked set to get the required second in early May when he injured his hamstring and tendons. 
Gerard fought a tremendously battle in an effort to regain fitness but it was not to be in what is a huge disappointment for an incredibly dedicated and focussed athlete. We know he will be back again.
Also in action in Santry last Saturday was Caitlin Surlis who threw 28.55m to finish an excellent eighth in the Javelin competition at the Tailteann Games.

The next generation of Carrick AC stars is in action on Sunday, July 3, when Dara Holmes and Diarmuid O'Connell compete in the U11 Turbo Javelin competition in Tullamore.
Also in Tullamore, but on Saturday, Cathal McElgunn competes in the U23 400m event at the National U23 & Junior Championships.
Best of luck to Cathal, Dara and Diarmuid.

WESTERN REGION U13 TO SENIOR TRACK & FIELD

The U17 team of Shauna McCabe, Kasey Bruen, Anna Corcoran and Clodagh Sheerin who won the gold medal in the 4 x 100m relay

Congratulations to all our athletes who performed so well last Saturday at the Western Region U13 to Senior Track & Field Championships.

Toyosi blasts away at the start

Top of the pile was our gold medal winners Clive Glancy, Ellis Conway, Toyosi Fagbo, Callum Whelan and the U17 Girls relay team of Clodagh Sheerin, Kasey Bruen, Anna Corcoran and Shauna McCabe.

Fiachra O’Dowd, Callum Whelan, Brian Finn, Oliver Charles and the U15 boys relay team of Oliver, Oisin Kearney, Daniel Bosquette & Jim Cullen all won silver medals while Emma O’Connell, Sophie McCabe, Caitlin Surlis and the Boys U13 relay team of Patrick Charles, Gerard Murtagh, Emmet Regan & Toyosi all won bronze.

It was great to see Clive Glancy perform so well at what must have been his first Connacht Track championships in over 15 years, a great front running display as Clive, normally busting out the miles on the road, sharpens up his speed for the longer distances.

Many thanks to officials Mary O’Donnell, John Connolly and Siobhan Whelan who spent the day working on the track and to Diane Charles, Jenny McCabe, Mary Finn, Karen & Andrew Brennan for looking after the athletes all day.

Special thanks to Jenny McCabe for her fantastic photos that grace our Facebook page.
