It was a busy and successful weekend for Donegal athletes yesterday on day 1 of the 123.ie National Juvenile Track and Field Championships in Tullamore.
Caoimhe Gallen (Lifford Strabane) was in superb form in the hammer, picking up the U18 title with a best throw of 59.73m. This was just off her sister Adrienne’s 60.90 championship record. Finishing a close third was her teammate, Muireann McBride with a 47.98 throw.
There were plenty of highlights across the track action too with Caolan McFadden (Cranford AC) taking a stacked boys U18 800m title in 1:54.17 ahead of Odhrán O’Sullivan (Midleton AC) 1:54.57 and John Delaney (St. Abbans AC) 1:55.85.
Meanwhile, Ashleigh McArdle (Lifford Strabane) finished an impressive second place in the U-19 Girls 100M hurdle.
