Navan AC

🟣🟢 More Leinster Success 🟢🟣

There were more excellent performances by our juveniles on the concluding weekend of the Leinster Championships. On Saturday, we had 7 athletes in action.
First up was David in the U14 sprint. In what was his first ever competitive outing he ran strongly to place 4th in his heat. Well done David on your first race for Navan AC🟣🟢👏.
Katie was in action in the U14 Discus, finishing 6th while at the same time, Doireann, Hayleigh and Samantha took to the track in the heats of the U15 sprint. Samantha was just 2 places off making the final with Hayleigh & Doireann only a few spots further back. Great effort girls💪.
Doireann was straight back into action in the Discus. A pb🔥 in the final round saw her claim 6th place👏.
Later in the day, Katie, Sarah & Lucia went in the timed heats of the 300m. Katie ran a pb🔥to claim silver🥈in the U14 age group while Sarah also ran a pb🔥to finish just off the podium. Lucia in her first 300m this season finished 5th in the U15 race👍.

Kevin was first into action on Sunday in the U12 LJ coming very close to his season's best👌.
Lucia finished an excellent 4th in the 250m hurdles having only taken up the event a matter of weeks ago💪.
Sarah threw strongly in the U14 Shot but was unlucky to miss out on the top 8 by 1cm.
Both Sarah & Lucia made their respective finals of the 200m. Lucia claimed 8th place in the U15 final while Sarah finished just off the podium in 4th place having run a pb🔥 in the heats.
Ishan was kept busy in the U18 Shot & Javelin with both events running simultaneously. Going from the javelin runway to the throwing circle didn't deter him in the least as he threw brilliantly to claim double gold🥇🥇👏.
Katie was next on track in the 800m final having run in the heats 5 hours earlier. She ran another pb🔥 to claim a super bronze🥉.
Seán O, Seán B & Odhran were all in sprint hurdle action.
Seán O(U16) held his nerve to add to Navan's medal tally claiming bronze🥉 in an incident filled 100m hurdle race💪.
Both Seán B & Odran made their respective 60m hurdles finals. Seán placed 5th in the U12 race in only his 2nd ever hurdles competition 👏 while Odhran ran a super pb🔥 in the U13 final for Navan's fourth 4th place of the weekend.

Well done to all of our juveniles who competed over the weekend and to the parents and coaches who support them.

Our medallists as well as our 4th place finishers have all qualified to Nationals 🇮🇪 which take place over the coming weeks👏👏.
We wish them all the very best of luck☘.
