Former Chair of Competition, Athletics Offical/Organiser, Scouter, Kayaker, Theatre Techie and a Process Engineer for good measure!

Sin É, that draws an end to my 4 years as AAI Comp Chair with 125 Events across the four corners of the country, from the AAI Outdoor Micro Meet back in 2021 right through to today AAI Relays
Thanks to all that help out & support over the past 4 years! Now for some rest :)
31:44 for Niamh Allen, @LeevaleAC in Dunboyne fastest 10k on Irish soil and third overall. And first mail in Declan Leary, @MullingarHAC 29:15
Well done to all and fair play to @dunboyneac for putting on a brillant event and the @irishathletics National 10k Road Race
Ireland has never won a multi-events medal at a major senior championships.
After a national pentathlon record of 4683, Kate O'Connor goes into the European Indoors as one of the Irish team's best chances.

I was in Gent at those 2000 European Indoors. Always remember how modest an indoor arena it was but it held 3000 & had a great atmosphere. Wish our NIA had a back straight of seated accommodation to make it even a 2000 capacity arena…capable of staging a European Indoor C’ships.
Nine athletes won their first-ever national senior titles at the weekend, and dozens won their first medal. At the other end, Saragh Buggy won her 23rd! Well done to all.
Last Senior Championships done for myself in role of Chair / Meet Director!
