Leinster Schools Track and Field Championships Day 1

On Monday three students travelled to Tullamore to take part in this years Leinster Schools Track and Field Championships.

Rachel took top billing with a silver double in both the 100m and the 200m and qualifying for the All Ireland Schools Track and Field Championships over the weekend of the 29th and 30th of May.  With time of 12.26secs and 25.04secs she was only 0.12secs and 0.26secs behind the winner in both races and considering the winner of the 200m is already an Ireland International athlete this set of results is fantastic.  Rachel is also only in 5th Year and has another year in the same age group.

Charlie was first up in the field and after a strong first round throw he finished up in 9th place only 3m 18cms behind 4th place.  Edwin also finished in 9th place in a high standard javelin with the first three athletes all going out beyond 42ms.

Thanks to Charlie and Edwin for their time and effort in developing the profile of athletics over the past four years, its been great to have you in the squads.
