The summer outdoor season is off to a strong start, and what a week it’s been for the St Cocas AC ☀️🏃♂️
On the track, we were delighted to host the second round of the county league, welcoming hundreds of juvenile athletes from across the county for a brilliant day of competition, fun and memories 🙌
Further afield in Cork (MTU), Maebh Caffrey claimed a superb silver medal in the 1500m at the Irish University Championships, representing Maynooth University 🥈 A fantastic achievement in her first IUAA Championships.
At schools level, there were some more great performances, with Caoimhe Farrell taking silver in the 100m 🥈, while Rory Pope delivered an impressive double, gold in the long jump 🥇 and bronze in the 100m 🥉
On the roads, our teams put in a strong showing at the Kildare County Road Races. The women’s team finished 4th, the men’s team secured 3rd 🥉, and Alex Wallace led the way with the individual victory 🥇
It was a busy weekend beyond the county too. At the Connemara Half Marathon, Jackie Ryan (2:13:43), Brenda Beirne (2:16:51), Jane Ennis (2:28:05), Sarah Griffin (2:26:38) and Jeannie Duncan (2:23:05) all represented the club with pride, while Marc Augustin also delivered a strong performance in the marathon, taking the title in 2:39:44 🏅
As if the Irish racing scene wasn’t enough, Bernard and Dee Phelan headed to Nice for the 10k and 5k, while Sinead O’Reilly took on the iconic Boston Marathon 🌍
It’s fantastic to see so many of our members competing across such a wide range of events and disciplines. Performances like these are built on consistent effort, commitment, and team spirit, and they’re something every athlete should take real pride in 💪
A brilliant week for the club, and plenty more to look forward to as the summer season gets into full swing ✨
