Camp 10Mile Trail Run 2015

Derek Griffin was in fine form on Saturday, 27 June 2015 when he came in as overall winner in this year's Camp trail run over the 10 mile distance. This was his second year coming at the top. Great weather on the day made this event very enjoyable for all participants and numbers were up on last year, which shows that trail running is getting more popular.
Great organisation and a reasonable entry price will definitely secure the future of this event and should see it growing over the next few years as this is one of only a  handful of trail/off road events in Kerry.
Well done to Derek on defending his first place from 2014 and also improving on finishing time.

1. Derek Griffin (St.Brendan's AC)    1:05:13

Kerry Juveniles T&F Championships - overall finish

St.Brendan's AC finished in 3rd position overall in Kerry Juveniles Track & Field Championships 2015. Due to bad weather conditions on Day 2 some of the jump events were postponed and it is only now that we have the official results after all outstanding events were completed.
This was a great team effort from our juveniles athletes and coaches putting some good work in over the winter months and showing outstanding commitments in training in Ardfert and traveling to Castleisland in preparation for championships.  Congratulation to Kenmare AC on winning overall juvenile standing as it was very close between top 2 clubs.

Our high position is even more impressive if we compare the number of athletes registered in other clubs.

MUNSTER TRACK & FIELD U14-U19 2015

Four St. Brendan’s athletes made the long journey to Waterford where the Munster Track & Field competition was taking place this year.  Although the club’s representation was small there were some great performances.  The standard of competing was excellent with the Kerry squads training paying off for our St. Brendan’s athletes.  Many of these performances produced some personal best’s for all of the athletes.

Lauren O’ Grady        U16     1^st Discus 26.59m

3^rd Hammer 31.27m (pb)

Riadh Malik                U16     3^rd Discus 22.77m

Darragh Courtney       U15     1^st High Jump 1.74m (pb)

1^st 250m Hurdles

                                                 2^nd Triple Jump

                                                3^rd 80m Hurdles

Darragh’s high jump competition produced one of the most exciting events over the weekend, he achieved a personal best of 1.74m with an attempt at the Munster record of 1.77m getting very close on all occasions!

Aaron Malik was very unlucky in a few events not to medal.  Thank you to Barbara & Deirdre who travelled the distance with them. We can’t wait to see what the AAI competition will bring over the summer!
