A sprint double for Sean Lawlor of Kylemore College was just one of highlight from the second day of the Glo Health Leinster Schools Track and Field Championships in Santry.
In both the 100m and the 200m, Lawlor beat his old rival Eoin Doherty of Drimnagh Castle. His winning time in the 100m was 10.89 secs; later he won the 200m in 22.17 secs. A treble winner was sprinter Mary Kate Lacey. She won the senior 100m and 200m and helped Loreto Kilkenny to relay victory.
Brian Masterson of Blackrock was another athlete on top of his form winning the senior 400m in 49.01 secs and anchoring Blackrock to relay victory in the final race of the race. Sophie Becker of St Mary’s New Ross won the senior girls’ 400m in 57.39, beating Carla Sweeney of St Mac Dara’s, who earlier had won the 800m in 2:22.15. Sweeney’s schoolmate Nadia Power showed blistering pace on the final lap to win the senior 1500m in 4:38.34.
Winning the senior boys’ 1500m in assured style was Andrew Coscoran of St Mary’s Drogheda in 4:05.98; Patrick McGowan of DLS Churchtown was second. At inter level, Robert Crowley of Knockbeg College and Eimear Fitzpatrick of Our Lady’s Terenure were the winners; earlier in the week, Fitzpatrick had won the steeplechase in a new record time.
In the 3000m, Hope Saunders of Mount Temple beat Isabel Carron of Skerries CC. No times were given because of a lap mix-up.
Four records were set, all in field events. In the inter girls’ hammer, Lauren O’Keeffe of Loreto Balbriggan threw a mighty 52.94m to add over eleven metres to the old best, while in the inter girls’ shot, Niamh Fogarty of St Joseph’s improved the record to 13. 56m. Multi-eventer Elizabeth Morland of Dunshaughlin added three centimetres to the senior girls’ long jump with a leap of 5.56m while in the inter boys’ pole vault, Robert Ivers of CBC Monkstown soared over 3.81m.
Other to come close were Eoin Sheridan of St Finian’s Mullingar in the senior discus where he threw 54.40 m – 40 centimeters off Nick Sweeney’s record – and Ryan Carly Walsh of Good Counsel with 2.03m in the inter high jump, just a single centimetre off the record.
AT THE MUNSTER SCHOOLS in Cork, Rhona Pierce of St Angela’s Cork set a new record of 10:05.57 when winning the senior girl’s 3000m, while Alice Akers of Scarriff CC won the senior hammer with a mighty throw of 55.07m – also a record. Caoimhe Harrington of CP Bantry ran away with the inter 3000m in 10:33.87, Laura Nicolson also CP Bantry won the inter steeplechase and the high jump and Louise Shanahan won both the senior 800m and 1500m. Daniel Ryan of Thurles CBS set an inter boys’ long jump record of 6.77m and was close to the record when winning the 100m hurdles in 13.54 secs. More records came in the senior 400m won by Scott Gibson of Bandon GS in 47.60m, the senior pole vault won by Seamie Farrell of St Augustine’s with a best of 4:21m, the senior hammer won by Adam King of Col na Sceilige with 64.50.
