WWAC’s Kate Veale set a new record in easily winning the u16 1500m walk in a time of 6 minutes and 17 seconds. Silver medals were won by Thomas Barr in the u19 High jump and Aisling Quinn in the 800 metres u14. Two bronze medals were won by Megan Kiely in the Long and High Jump u17 – all three from Ferrybank.
