National Indoor Track and Field Championships Nenagh 5th/6th April 2003

Tallaght Athletic club juvenile athletes travelled to Nenagh last weekend to compete in the final weekend of the National Juvenile Indoor Track and Field Championships.

First on the podium for the club was Robert Fitzsimons who secured the bronze medal in the U15 800M final when he took over three seconds off his personal best performance with a time of 2.12.94

Jeffrey Sheridan ran a great race to finish just outside the medals in 4th place in the U17 200M final.

Tracy Williams, Fiona Mc Carthy, Orla Nugent and Stephanie Game made it a great weekend for the girls when they won gold in the U19 4X200M relay following an epic battle with Bree A.C which drew huge acclaim from the large crowd.

Last into action for Tallaght AC were the Boys U18 relay team of Derek Ritchie, Gerard Purcell, Roy Murray, Jeffrey Sheridan and Darren Byrne and together they combined well to take the bronze medal in a very competitive final.

The club can be well satisfied with its performance in these championships having taken two National Titles, one silver three bronze medals.

The club will be well represented in the younger age groups at next weeks Dublin Community Games Cross Country Championships.
