Marianne Gets 6th In All-Ireland Schools

Marianne continued her great season with a 6th place in the Minor Girls All-Ireland Schools Pentathlon in Athlone on Saturday.

Competing for her school, Belmayne Education Together Secondary School, started the day with the 60m Hurdles event. With a time just outside her personal best, Marianne was in 12th position on the overall points table.

A strong High Jump, just 3cm off her PB, saw her move to 9th on the points table and then a super new PB in the Shot Putt saw her maintain this position overall.

A good performance in one of her favourite events, Long Jump, saw her move up one place to 7th overall and she finished it off with a storming 800m run to move another place up the table to finish in a brilliant 6th place.
