NIA Live Juv. Nenagh

This weekend saw a great group of Juvenile athletes back in action, many getting their indoor season underway. The Track and Field Live event in Nenagh was hugely popular with athletes travelling from all over the country. As part of this brilliant event, Aoibheann Doyle started the day off with a speedy 10.27s PB in the 60m. She was quickly followed in the u12 event by Meadhbh Hall (9.93s), Annie Ely (10.22s PB) and Darragh Joyce (9.90s PB). Last on the track for the sprint races was Saoirse Joyce in the u14 category with a great time of 9.73s.The athletes then took on a middle distance event, where many more PBs were earned. Aoibheann was again first to line out and ran an impressive 1.25.72 PB over 400m. The u12 event was ran over 600m, with Darragh (1.55.21) and Annie (2.07.24) both running impressive personal bests to finish third in their heats. Meadhbh continued her good form with a time of 2.15.44 in her heat. In the girls u14 800m, Saoirse Joyce and Caoimhe Slevin competed in the first heat with excellent times of 2.57.89 and 2.55.76 respectively.This was a great opportunity for these athletes to compete at such a high level and we are proud of all of them for their performances this weekend. Keep up the great work.
