Munster Juvenile U14 – U19 Track & Field Championship 2017
Athletes took part in the Munster track & field events in CIT over the weekend of 17 & 18 June. In the extremely hot conditions there were some exciting events.
Glory Wenegieme taking gold in the 200m in a new Munster record of 24.49 secs and joint first in the 80m with a silver in the 800m. Billy O’Riordan found the conditions extremely exhausting but put everything he could muster into his events, well done Billy.
Adam Turner qualified for the All-Ireland U15 long jump competition.
The boys U14 relay squad pushed each other to a Munster track record for the 4 x 100m relay. There are 6 athletes on the panel at present, Timmy Hawkins, Sean Carmody, Max O’Reilly, Billy O’Riordan with Glory and Praise Wenegieme. It’s great to see each one pushing the others for a place in the relay so much that it produced a Munster record for the 4 that ran.
Sarah Cooper & Coaimhe Henchy also took part on the weekend and although their training was interrupted by exams they still produced brilliant performances on the day.

All-Ireland B X Country 2016
Six Belgooly AC athletes braved not only a very hilly course but weather conditions that made finishing the run a success in itself. The Athletes were Andrew Martin, Adam Phelan, Daniel Mackey, Timmy, Peter and Brian Hawkins. A great thank you also has to go out to Richard Hawkins who filled in on the day when 2 Belgooly coaches got sick. That finishes the X country season for 2016. A big thank you also goes out to the parents who endured the weather extremes to transport the athletes to the various venues over the last few months. The next big event we have coming up is the Cork County Track & Field events in May. All the training that people have done to prepare for the X Country will give them a great foundation for the track events.
Here are some photos from the X Country in Waterford (I feel cold just looking at them).
