Irish National Age Group Championships

Jul 11, 2023

The Sky Blue and Navy made a number of appearances at Day 1 of the Irish National Juvenile Championships and at the U20/23 Championships in Tullamore, Co. Offaly with some great performances and PB’s along the way.

Our star performance in the U20 champs goes to new club member Lucas Thorn who took the gold medal in the mens javelin with a brilliant throw of 55.47m. Lucas has joined us from Queensland Australia, with family roots in Antrim he is NI eligible so hopefully we will see him over for future appearances in the LV vest. Welcome to the club Lucas.

Noah Harper also had a fabulous run in the U16 Boys 800m for a podium finish and bronze medal in a PB time of 2.00.06. which moves him to the top 10 in the UK U15 rankings.
