Kerry's post-primary students won five gold medals at the 107th Irish Schools Athletics Championships on Saturday in Tullamore.
Brothers Isaac and Ryan Vickers of St Brendan's College were both on the winners' podium with Isaac winning the intermediate 800m gold medal in a time of 1:57.94, less than an hour after his younger brother Ryan crossed the finish line of his junior 800m final in first place in a faster time of 1:57.65, which bordered on the championship best performance of Mark Milner in 2015.
