Days 2 and 3 of the National Juvenile championships took place in Tullamore last weekend. It was another very successful outing for Leevale athletes who took 25 medals which included 3 championship best performances.
Leevale had more success in the pole vault, which was the source of two of the CBPs. Conor Callinan broke the boys U16 record with a clearance at 4.01m. Una Brice broke the girls U16 record with a clearance at 3.16m. Sara Zia Buckley took gold in the girls U17 event (2.80m), while Josh Fitzgerald cleared 2.4m in the boys U15 event.
John Cashman smashed the boys U14 200m record with a fast 24.11s. Earlier John took a very close silver in the 80m (9.76s). Lucy Sleeman won the girls U16 100m final in 12.51 before taking silver in the 200m in 25.97s. Okwu Backari won the girls U14 long jump with a fine jump of 5.19m and took silver in the 80m sprint (10.45).
There were some excellent performances in the throws. Katie Moynihan finished her juvenile days in style when winning the girls U19 javelin comfortably with a throw of 41.70m. James Kirkby took silver in the boys U18 discus (39.54m) and Brianna Onoh threw 11.78m to take 2nd in the girls U14 shot.
In one of the races of the day, Nicole Dinan finished a very close 2rd in a top quality 1500m race with a fantastic time of 4:44.25 which was inside the old CBP. Katie O’Keeffe took silver in the girls U15 1500m in 4:49.58.
Aisling Cassidy took double silver in the girls U19 triple jump (10.92m) and long jump (5.54m). Ella Jenks was another double medal winner, taking 2nd in the U15 200m (26.50s) and 3rd in the 100m (12.68s).
Emily Wall took silver in the U17 300m hurdles (45.20) and James Ezeono silver in the boys U17 200m (22.76). There was bronze for Fatima Amusa in the girls U14 200m (26.97), Marc Jones in the U19 200m (22.96), Wymin Sivakumar in the U18 long jump (6.34m) and Cathal Scanlon in the U18 high jump (1.80m).
