Santry played host to the East Leinster T&F qualifiers over the last two days. The competition attracted large crowds on both days with weather conditions bordering on Baltic at stages!! Well done to all involved and a summary below:
Minor Girls & Boys Day 1/2: Congratulations to Emma O’Brien (Mount Anville/80m) and Ellen Cheung (Mount Anville/500m) on securing individual titles on Wednesday.

We also had strong performances from Rachel Walshe (St Andrews/ 80m final 5th) and Evan Walshe (St Benildus/ 6th) in the Long Jump. Our newest recruit, Jordan Mynes (Oatlands), was leading the hurdles and was very unlucky when colliding on the last hurdle took him out of the Top 3 but made up for it by winning the 800m B race in the Minor category.
