👨‍🎓👩‍🎓18 (yes, 18) of our coaches completed the assistant coach course last Saturday on the campus and in sunshine.  🌞 
🚶‍♀️🥈Ciara Wilson Bowen was a barely noticed 2nd in the English indoor champs 3,000m walk. 👏👏
🥈Our T&F field teams lie second in both men’s and women’s in the national indoor champs after Sunday’s 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. 👏🎉

🇪🇺 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.)🎉🎉

🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️‍➡️🏃🏼‍➡️🏃‍♀️The East and West Leinster schools xc champs included lots or our lads and lassies during the week.

☔️ The campus survived storm Eowyn with little damage.

🇪🇺 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.  🇵🇹 Rob Corbally and Donal Hennigan will carry the tracksuits.

🇺🇸 I’m looking forward to Elizabeth Ndudi (LJ) 🤸🏻‍♂️going again this weekend in Illinois and Hiko running the Seville Half Marathon.  🇪🇸 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 ⛑️ course for coaches this Saturday on the campus.
