After the great success of the Leevale teams at the National Leagues yesterday, today it was the turn of the distance runners to shine at the AAI Half-Marathon Championships in Dublin. Again, the Leevale athletes did not disappoint. Tim Twomey was the first finisher in 9th 73:27, followed closely by Chris Harrington and Owen Casey, and these three led the Leevale team that finished 3rd overall.
Leevale athletes also did well in the age categories: John O’Connell finished 4th in the M35, Finbarr O’Dwyer was 3rd in the M40, and Colm Murphy also took bronze, in the M55.
