Connacht Schools Track & Field

Connacht Schools Track & Field

The club's progress in schools athletics continues to rise with 33 athletes from the club having qualified for the Connacht Schools Track & Field Championships which were held in Athlone last Thursday.

The stand-out performance from a Craughwell AC perspective were Ciara Greene’s breathtaking 5.02.8 time when winning the Minor Girls 1500m. Ciara's time was the 5th fastest of any girls time across the minor, junior, intermediate and senior 1500m races on the day and is a new Connacht record. It is also only a fraction of a second outside of Linda Porter's club record of 5.02.03.

Another highlight was Sineád Gaffney ‘s victory in the Intermediate Girls 300m which followed a third place finish in the 800m where she broke the magic 2:30 mark for the first time.
