The final day of All-Ireland Indoor action saw more PBs and some close medal calls for the Clongriffin crew in Athlone today.
Hurdle Finals
We had four hurdlers in action with two making their finals. Sophie progressed through her heat safely and was close to her PB in the final to claim 5th place in the Girls u14. Marianne needed to run a PB in her heat to qualify which she duly did and ultimately came 7th in the final.
Hania had the race of her life in the Girls u13 to take nearly 0.60 seconds off her PB but just miss out on the final by one place finishing 9th. Sarah was only 0.02 seconds off her PB in the Girls u14 to marginally miss out on her final also.
Patryk Takes Fourth In High Jump
Patryk was so close to a medal in the Boys u16 High Jump, marginally clipping 1.70m twice, a height which would have taken bronze. He had earlier finished 10th in the Long Jump, just 11cm off his PB. Marianne again showed her range of events with a 6th place in the Girls u16. She finished the championships with a 4th, a 6th, a 7th and a 4th in the relay. No medals but big consistency.
Sarah was also close to the final of the Long Jump in the Girls U14, missing out by just 1cm.
Orlaith With PB In 600m
Our youngest competitor today, Orlaith in the Girls u12 600m, ran a new PB with 1:52 which was enough for 9th overall. This backed up her 9th in yesterday’s Long Jump, two Top 10 finishes showing great versatility.
Overall it has been a very successful three days of All-Ireland Indoors with three medals and nine more Top 8 finishes as well as a plethora of PBs and experience gained across a big range of events.
