Congratulations to those who competed at the North Munster Track
& Field Championships. We brought home our biggest medal tally
since the Brian Liddy-era (mid 90s). Our team won the All Round
Minor Cup - last won by us (jointly with St Munchins) in 1994.
Pat O'Malley (III) broke the Inter 2 school 100m Hurdles record
of 15.3 which dated back to 1970, the new record stands at 15.2.
Stephen Roche (VI) continued his winning streak in the Sprint and
400m Hurdles. Stephen has won a medal in every hurdle race that
he has competed in at North Munster and Munster, both outdoor and
indoor since he was a 1st Year. In recent times no other athlete
has been as consistent, dedicated or successful.
On May 25th we send a large team to the Munster Championships in
Cork. One to watch is the Inter 4 x 100m Relay Team (Conor Quinn,
Pat O'Malley, Diarmuid O'Keeffe & Denis Halton) are not only
hoping to qualify for the All Ireland Championships but also to
break the school record of 46.1 set in 1972.
We wish them all good luck - "faster and further".
