The Irish 4 x 100m womens relay team set a new record in Mannheim, Germany
at the Junior International on 21-22nd June. The team of Joan Healy,
Eilish Fitzpatrick (Gneeveguilla AC), Jane Dickenson, and Niamh Whelan
broke the 2004 record of 45.97 with a new mark of 45.95.

At the Womens European Cup in Leira, Portugal, Claire Fitzgerald of Tralee
Harriers competed well in the discus event in a top international field
with many athletes much older than herself to finish 8th.

In the men’s events in Talin the 4 x 100m relay team finished 2nd with a
time of 40.90 to Latvias team. The team consisted Jason Smith, Paul
Hession, Patrick Phelan (Tralee Harriers), and Darragh Graham.

The Munster U15 - U19 T&F Championships including U13/U14
Hammer/Discus/Pole Vault took place at the IT Cork over the weekend with
plenty of action from the Kerry athletes across all the events. Farranfore
M.V. had a great weekend with a total of 24 medals, while St Brendans AC
came a close second with 19 medals won; there were a grand total of 65
medal won by the Kingdoms young athletes, quite an achievement when many
of them will have been studying for and taking exams while training
