Last weekend in summary!!!
Jack Gilmartin ran in the Under 14 1500m National final and ran an excellent 4.44 to take home 7th place in what was a really competitive race ๐๐ป๐ฎ๐ช
Katie McCarthy represented the jumpers as she qualified for the Under 14 Long Jump and jumped a best of 4.61m to finish 10th in Ireland ๐ช๐ป๐ฎ๐ช
Max Hollingsworth qualified for the Under 15 national champs in both 100 & 200m.
