Munster Indoor Championships

For the first time in a number of years Kilmallock AC had juvenile athletes taking part in the Munster Indoor Championships. The event, which took place in its usual home of Nenagh attracts the very best from the biggest clubs in Munster and 3 of our own young members were among the large group of competitors. Fionn Freyne, Lewis Fennessy and Ronan Collins earned their place by virtue of their performances in the county championships in December of last year. Fionn, Lewis and Ronan all took part in the long jump, 60 metre sprint with Ronan also running in the 600 metres. Small margins make big differences in results and despite giving 100% the 3 boys did not qualify from their 60 metre heats where only the top 8 out of 70 athletes made the final, or medal in the long jump, again against almost 70 competitors. In the 600 metres Ronan finished just outside the medals in 4th place narrowly missing out on a medal. Even though no medals were won, it was a great day for the 3 young runners who hopefully will be back in that championship again in the near future. It was also an important step in developing juvenile athletics in the town and ensuring that the club is represented on a regular basis in major athletic events. Well done to the boys and to their coaches for the long hours put in training for the event.
