Competition News
Last weekend saw three Tralee Harriers athletes head for Morton Stadium in Santry, Co. Dublin, for the Irish Life Health National Combined Events and the AAI Games.
Two athletes competed on Saturday in the combined events, and although the weather was only suitable for the two ducks that took advantage of the pool that developed in the infield they brought home the medals.
Following a two and half hour delay, Cillian Griffin took the silver in the U16 age group on 2656 points setting a new PB in the 800m with training buddy and team mate Jordan Kissane taking the bronze in the U15 age group with 2493 points again setting a new PB in the 800m.
