We moved onto to a windswept & cold Bangor on the 12th for the A district finals. First up was Hollie Halpin representing Our Ladys in the 100mts. The transport from the school was late and poor Hollie had to jump from the car and leg it to the start. There was barely time for her to pull on her spikes and without any form of warm up Hollie blasted out a pb in a time of 14.6"! She just missed qualification by two tenths of a second! With time for a warm up Hollie would have made it no doubt. Next up was Aislinn Crossey in the junior 800. Ais made short work of the race and for the second year is the Co Down champ. She will go to the finals next week with hopes of a medal. Lauren Hutchinson and Charlotte Rea also breezed through their 800 and will go to Antrim next week as well. It was a first championship success for Lauren and she is now the Co Down schools 800mt champion! Last runner today was Sarah Creegan in the 200 for Our Ladys. Again a pb was a great result for Sarah as she stormed home in a time of 31.3". A great reward for some hard training! Most of the girls then turned out for their schools in the 4x100 relay and though both teams qualified for the final they both ended up in fourth place. A real pity as the top three teams qualified for the finals next week.
