Leinster Indoor Championships : Added March 6th

Luke Morgan, Fiona Dennehy and Catherine Fennelly all won gold medals, while Laura Fennelly picked up a silver in the walk. There were also four bronze medals, two for Colin Butler and one each for Leanne Foskin and Janet Moore. Lots of other athletes competed and performed well with many just missing out on a medal so well done to all travelled and took part.

Walking the Walk
The club has featured strongly in the walking events of late thanks to some great specialist coaching from Pam Foskin and this was evident in Nenagh as both Luke Morgan U/14, Fiona Dennehy U/15 and Catherine Fennelly U/19 all showed superb form to win convincingly in their respective races. Laura Fennelly is another fine walker and won a silver medal in the U/17 race, while Lydia Meyler also walked extremely well just missing out in 4th place. The club has a proud tradition in this event and our present crop of juveniles look set to continue this.

Fast and Furious
In the sprint events Both Leanne Foskin in the U/18 300m and Colin Butler in the U/19 400m won bronze medals with great performances. Both Janet Moore and Claire Walsh had good runs in the  U/18 60m heats , while the U/18 4 x 200m relay team that also included Laura Fennelly and Leanne Foskin put up a great show with Janet Moore in running a particularly exciting leg making up huge ground on her opponents. Janet also had an excellent shot putt series, where she won bronze in the U/18 event. William Walsh came close in the U/16 high jump placing 4th, while Daniel Davis jumped well in the U/16 long jump event.

Half Milers
Day 2 of the Indoors saw several athletes compete in the 800m events and again there were medals for Leanne Foskin who took silver in the U/18 race and Colin Butler who won bronze in the U/19 event. Others who performed well included newcomer Darragh Dwyer 5th in the U/14 race, Luke Morgan 5th in the U/15, Daniel Davis 5th in the U/16 and Rosanne Kennedy 6th in the U/16 event. Well done to all our athletes and thanks to the parents and coaches who travelled on the day.
