Competing for her school, Belmayne ETSS, Marianne won the Junior Girls Pentathlon Title in NIA last Wednesday. A solid morning over Long Jump, Hurdles and Shot Putt put Marianne in the medal position but then a new PB in the High Jump (1.49m) and controlling run in the 800m saw Marianne take overall gold.
There was a big contingent of club athletes also in the Boys and Girls Minor age groups. Meabh had a super day, winning her hurdles and also jumping a new PB in the High Jump (1.36m). Sarah, Eva and Alicja all made their pentathlon debuts and all clocked up PBs across the various events.
The Boys had Oscar, Ben and Jaden and again all the boys nicked up several PBs with Oscar and Jaden running storming finishes in their 800m and Ben clocking a big PB in the hurdles earlier in the day.
Thanks again to Dan, athletics coach in Belmayne ETSS, and school principal, Aisling, a great supporter of the Club.
Eva, Meabh, Alicja & Sarah.
