Eugenia Bateson, Juvenile Captain reports: What a weekend of Juvenile athletics. From Friday evening through to Sunday it has been a fantastic weekend from our Juveniles across all disciplines.
There are a lot of results below with a high number of qualifications to the Nationals. However, the biggest success is when you read the broad representation across so many disciplines and strong Clonliffe numbers. This is inline with our vision for the Club as our Juveniles now have so many athletes on our door step, and within our own club to aspire too. Our team of dedicated coaches have been very excited to see the hard work, the training planning and the many many nights of standing in the cold and the rain paying off. A fantastic time to part of the Juvenile Section of Clonliffe Harriers with most definitely great things to come.
A special thanks once again to all our parents who have volunteered over the weekends. it is very much appreciated by the coaches and the club as well as the Dublin County Board.
