Leevale secured a total of 22 medals at the Munster U15 – U19 Indoor championships held in a bitter cold Nenagh on the 19th & 20th February. This impressive medal count was accomplished despite the absence of some of our more notable athletes through injury and other commitments. Carl McNamara and Derek Duff competed to take Gold and Silver in both the U19 Boys 60m & 200m events. Derek proving the faster over 60m while Carl displayed his strength over 200m to take gold. The Fitzgerald sisters Maura and Kathleen continue to dominate their respective age groups is the shot put. Aoife Joyce and David Quilligan both won their respective long jump competitions and Aoife also collected a 3rd in the 60m sprint. Mera O’Connell running is the Leevale colours for the first time won the Girls U19 60m Hurdles and Christopher Murnane finished 2nd in the Boys U15 60m Hurdles
The boys U15 relay team ran an excellent race against stiff competition from Ferrybank and Listowel to take Gold. While the girls U18 relay team brought home a well deserved silver.
Meanwhile, Clare McSweeney represented the club at the AAA junior indoor championships in Birmingham , finishing second in her heat in a time of 59.76, just missing out on a place in the final.
