It was a very busy weekend for athletics. Whilst the Kerry Indoors were taking place in
Listowel, the AAI Indoor competition u9-u19 was taking place in Athlone on
Saturday & Sunday 23rd & 24th March 2013. Athletes & parents said that the new
arena is a fine warm facility. It served
the St. Brendan’s athletes well over the weekend. Darragh Lowth brought home the only medal of the weekend, he was in
great form in the boy’s u14 800m final. In a very close final Darragh came in
third to win the bronze medal. Kate O’ Shea was also in action in the girls u13
shot putt, she got a personal best with a throw of 8m 98 but unfortunately was
just edged out into fourth place. Ali Gardezi was in the u13 boys high jump
competition & jumped a very good 1.35 but he was unlucky not to place
amongst the medal winners. Finally Darragh Courtney was competing in two events in
the boys u13 category. First up was the
shot putt but this time it just didn’t go his way, next up was the 60mhurdles with Darragh getting to
the final & placing fourth again just unlucky to be outside of the
medals. For most of these athletes it
was their first time at the AAI Indoors & we hope to see them in the near
future again. Well done to all the
athletes.
