Craughwell AC’s Youngest Athletes Shine in Dangan
The sun shined on Dangan last Saturday for the Galway U9-11 track and field championships. With all the mixed weather lately, we were lucky to have a fine day, particularly for the young age groups as it can be a very negative experience for them on a wet day.
Craughwell AC’s younger athletes did us proud on the day. We had by far the largest attendance with 70+ participants and had a very successful day with 30 teams qualifying for the Connacht finals in the two-person paired events and 7 relay teams featuring in the medals.
Whether coming home with a medal or not, everyone of the athletes put in a great effort and hopefully enjoyed the day and will be back for more in future competitions!
Our top performances came in the long jump where the club took the Galway title in five out of the six long jump competitions and took silver medals in two of these six and bronze medal in four of the six.
