Leevale entries were up for the Munster Junior & Senior Indoor Championships, held in Nenagh last Sunday. It was great to see Leevale’s Junior and Senior athletes out in force.
In the Junior Women’s events Rebecca Corbett is finding form early in the season and finished a strong second in both the 60m & 200m events.
The Junior Men saw David Quilligan take bronze and silver medals respectively in the 60m & 200m events, Chris Murnane finished third in the 200m. In the 400m Cathal Owens finished second and Patrick Maher third.
To finish the strong individual performances, Leevale Junior men teams finished first and second in the 4x200m relays with the A team setting a new CBP.
In the Senior Women Jessie Van Hatten ran a strong race to finish second in the 3000m, while Andrea Bickerdyke won the 1500m. Katey Byrd experimented with the 400m and finished second.
