Ulster Indoors, Abbotstown, 2-3 March
Well done to all who took part in the Ulster Indoor Track & Field Championships 2024 over the first weekend of March in the National Indoor Arena in Abbotstown, Co. Dublin. We had 15 athletes at the event across the two days and each represented the club and themselves very well.
Our athletes gave a great performance on track, with most of them running on the tight, banked track for the first time but making it look like they were well used to its unusual nature. They all did themselves and our coaches proud.
First up on day one was the U12 600m race, where Jamie Condon finished in 2min5.61sec, coming home in fourth place in her heat with Riley Condon in 10th position in a time of 2min18.31seconds.

In the final, Katie put in another strong run to win the gold medal. The girls then went to the long jump where Katie’s best leap of 2.67m was the winner. In what proved to be a highly competitive event, Leah and Evie finished in fifth and sixth despite only being a very short distance behind, both reaching the 2.3m mark.
The U12 shot putt showed off Innyvale’s strength in depth, with seven athletes in the top ten.

In the 80m sprint, Zoe powered to the top of the podium with a strong winning performance.
Isabella Condon picked up two medals in the U14 events, finishing a very tough 800m race in third place and collecting another medal in the discus. In fact it was a clean sweep of the medals in the U14 discus for us with Isabella taking the bronze (11.45m), Saoirse Lynch taking the silver with a best throw of 15.34m, just being edged out by Kaitlin Shaw who threw 15.73m for the gold. And last but most certainly not least, Margaux Renimel took part in the U18 events and collected two gold medals in her first event for the club with first places in the 800m and the shot putt.
Well done to all who took part, regardless of were you finished. There were lots of great performances throughout and the Innyvale squad represented the club very well today and should be proud of themselves. It was fantastic to see such a large number of athletes from the club there today. Thank you to all the parents for bringing their children and their support.
