Great performances in National Championships by Redeemer AC

OVER the past few weeks Redeemer AC has been represented at National Championships by Chloe Conway, Cara Miele and Evan Hearty.

Evan Hearty competing in the Boys U14 shot put took home a superb All Ireland Gold medal in the National B championships improving his pb by over half a metre with a superb 8.99m throw. Exceptional throwing from Evan who keeps performing at a consistently high level.

Chloe Conway performed brilliantly at her first National Championships to finish 9th in the U14 girls Hammer with a throw of 20.03m in what was only her second time competing in the event. Superb level of throwing from Chloe.

Next up was Cara Miele in the National Championships competing in the High Jump. She performed very well in making the National Championships in her first year at the event narrowly missing out on her PB in what was a very competitive and large field of athletes. Cara also competed in the 250m Hurdles another new event for Cara this year and she set a new PB narrowly missing out on a place in the final. Brilliant consistency Cara.

It is clear that Redeemer AC are strong competitors in the field events (jumps and throws) and we are currently striving to provide the best facilities we can for all of the athletes within the Redeemer Community. We have invested heavily in new facilities this year which includes a new long jump pit with a 35m tartan runway and we are currently in the process of putting in a new tartan run up for the Javelin , along with a new circle for our Shot Putters and a laned sprinting track.

If you or your child are in- terested in taking up athletics, come and have a look. We are always looking for new athletes from age 6 all the way up to adult ages. Training continues every Monday and Wednesday evening 6.15-7.15 for u6- u8 and 6.157.45 for all other age groups. For further information please send a WhatsApp message to Niall on 0867437717.
