The National junior and under 23 Championships aswell as day one of the national Juvenile Championships took place in Tullamore at the weekend. Gabriel Bell was once again in action a week after winning a bronze medal in the national combined events at the same venue. This time Gabriel was competing in the under 15 national 800 which was a great achivement for him to reach this stage having qualified for the first time from the Leinster Championshps. The heat Gabriel was drawn was of a very high standard and although he ran a respectable 2.17.28 he just missed out on a place in the final. Gabriel will return to Tullamore next weekend were he will compete in the high jump and long jump events were he would be optimistic of a podium finish.
St. Peters high jumper Emily Rogers returned to action having recently won gold in the CSIT games in Italy when she competed in the under 23 womens high jump. Emily once again delivered on the big stage with a jump of 1.65M to win gold for herself and the ST. Peters club.
