TRALEE school students took home a huge share of wins at an athletics meeting this week.
The annual Kerry Colleges Track and Field Championships at An Riocht Athletic Track, Castleisland were held last Tuesday April 28, when over 400 athletes braved the less than desirable conditions to take part in the event.
Mercy Mounthawk, CBS The Green and Presentation Tralee were amongst the big winners on the day as their students stormed home to victory in a number of categories.
• Basi Oyebanji of Mercy Mounthawk won Minor Boys in the 100m and 300m and finished second in the Long Jump and third in Shot Putt.
• Sean Quilter of Tralee CBS won the Minor Boys Long Jump, finished second in the Shot Putt and 100m, and was on the winning CBS Minor Relay team.
• Darragh Lowth of Tralee CBS completed a double in the Minor Boys 300m and High Jump while his older brother Shane also recorded a double in the Senior Boys 100m and 400m.
• Finally, in Minor Girls, Mary O’Connell of Presentation Tralee was impressive in winning the 100m and Long Jump, and finished third in the 800m.
Congratulations to all those who took part on the day and we wish you luck in future events also!
