National Indoor Junior + U23 Championships
The Irish Life Health National Indoor Junior + U23 Championships took place on Sunday Jan 27th at the AIT International Arena, Athlone. There was a good turnout from clubs all over Ireland which made for some very exciting competitions.
Rossa Foley was back in action as he competed in a number of the U23 field events. His best performance was in the 35lb Weight For Distance where earned himself a national individual medal coming in second place with a throw of 7.55m. Rossa also took part in the Triple Jump.
His sister Siofra Foley competing in the Junior category missed out in the medals but did well in the Shot Putt.
Best of luck to David Kenny who will be competing in the 5k Indoor Race walk at the 4th Annual Elan Indoor Games in the Slovak capital, Bratislava on 10th Feb.
