Another visit to MPT in Belfast last Thursday night for a round of the Lagan Valley promoted Edwards Super 5. There were a total of seven athletes from the club who traveled down to the meeting. First up were our youngest athletes, Jessica Meehan and Jane Rea, both running the 100 mts. They finished 9th and 16th with times off 17.64" and 20.02". Well done to them both! Next up was Rachael Quinn also running the 100. Rachael has had more than her fair share of injuries this year but this didnt stop her storming to fifth place in a great 14.73" which is a season's best for her. Charlotte Rea and Lucy Quinn then made their debut over 1500 mts. It was a baptism of fire for Lucy as she pulled up injured on the third lap! Lucy has also had her injury problems this season. Charlotte however ran a blinder to finish a close second and in a great time of 5'19.97". She was later demoted to third as another athlete from this age group ran in an older category and posted a faster time. Very strange ruling by the officials!! However we seem to get a lot of that! Aislinn Crossey also debuted over 1500 and ran a comfortable 5'00.86" to win her race. Both her and Charlotte did well enough to suggest faster times should be possible. Last up was track newcomer and triathlete Andrea Stefkova also running the 1500. Andrea has improved a lot over these past few months but had never run a 1500 in under six minutes so she was delighted when the clock stopped at 5'59"! A great run altogether. Well done to all.
