๐จโ๐๐ฉโ๐18 (yes, 18) of our coaches completed the assistant coach course last Saturday on the campus and in sunshine. ๐
๐ถโโ๏ธ๐ฅCiara Wilson Bowen was a barely noticed 2nd in the English indoor champs 3,000m walk. ๐๐
๐ฅOur T&F field teams lie second in both menโs and womenโs in the national indoor champs after Sundayโs round.
Highlight for me was the 4x200m w relay team which included a 15-year-old (Evelyn (very) Kwik) and a 50-year-old (must be discreet). They won their heat. ๐๐
๐ช๐บ And a European W50 record for Adina Gheorghiu in the 60m. (I see three DSD women in the top 10 rankings over 60m this season so far.)๐๐
๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธโโก๏ธ๐๐ผโโก๏ธ๐โโ๏ธThe East and West Leinster schools xc champs included lots or our lads and lassies during the week.
โ๏ธ The campus survived storm Eowyn with little damage.
๐ช๐บ A strong team was picked for the European Champion Clubs Cross Country on 2nd Feb: Amy Donohue, Eimear Maher, Jamie Byrne and Joe Hastings will wear the famous silver vests in Portugal. ๐ต๐น Rob Corbally and Donal Hennigan will carry the tracksuits.
๐บ๐ธ Iโm looking forward to Elizabeth Ndudi (LJ) ๐คธ๐ปโโ๏ธgoing again this weekend in Illinois and Hiko running the Seville Half Marathon. ๐ช๐ธ Hiko has the B standard in the marathon for the world champs in Tokyo and is preparing for the Rotterdam marathon.
And equally exciting, we have a first aid โ๏ธ course for coaches this Saturday on the campus.
