Firstly the relays teams, fresh from their county victories on Thursday night, headed to the SETU South Sports Campus in Carlow to participate in the Leinster relay finals on Saturday. The U12 Boys 4 x 100m boys team of Nikita Zabelin, Ethan Kane, James Duffy and Adam McDonald, finished third in their heat and advanced to the final where they ran a good race outside the medals. The U14 Boys 4 x 100m boys team of Harry McArdle, Darragh Ryan, Tadhg McGrath and Toby Fleming ran a superb race to finish third in a straight final. Overall a great result for the club in relays and testament to the extra and focussed training that the coaches laid on for the last number of weeks. Leinster Combined Events On Sunday in Carlow three athletes Owen McGrath, Gillian Tuohy and MollyAnn Moore represented the club in the Leinster Combined Events. A multi-event competition, it was the culmination of a series of training undertaken by the coaches to have athletes up to speed in several events at the same time. Much time is involved in achieving competency at multi-events and the athletes achieved the competencies and excelled beyond expectations to deliver for the club. Owen McGrath in Boys U13, undertook hurdles, long jump, shot putt, high jump and the 600m in his first foray into the multi-event competitions and can be proud of his results. Gillian Tuohy, also taking part in her first multi-event competition took on hurdles, long jump, shot put, high jump and the 800m growing into the day when she finished with a win in the 800m - Kate O'Connor style - to secure third place overall. MollyAnne Moore, moving up an age group to girls U18, also undertook hurdles, long jump, shot putt, high jump and 800m and maintained second place throughout the day securing joint first in the high jump and - again Kate O'Connor style - first in the 800m in a very tight race to secure second place overall. The new Glenmore AC club tent also had its first outing in Carlow, another welcome addition to the club. All Ireland Community Games Cross Country The club's cross country gang donned the winter spikes again and combined with teammates from other clubs across the county, formed a mixed cross country team representing Louth in the All Ireland Community games in Gormanstown, Co Meath. The boys and girls ran together in a 1200m race with Packie Duffy, Caoimhe Galligan, Conor Finnegan, Aaron Finnegan and Charlie Gallagher making up a 10 person Louth county team in the Over 11/Under 13 age category. They finished fourth team overall which in community games secures a medal. A great experience for the club athletes with lots of entertainment and activity to take in at the venue. Off to Tullamore This weekend the Children's Games and U12 and 13 Championships take place in Tullamore with the U14-U19 Championships taking place in Tullamore on June 14 and 15.
