Over the last couple of weeks, several adult members have ran in several races, including the Rathkenny 5km, the Liberties Fun Run, the Tara 5km and the Tullamore Half Marathon. Well done to all members

Club training might have stopped for the summer, but some our juveniles kept right on going, representing club and county all through August!

Well done to :-
■ Seán - sprint🥇 at Boyne AC Open Sports
■ Nayan - sprint🥉 at Ardee & District AC Open Sports
■ Katie - 🥈 female in the Tara AC Children's 3K

🟢🟡We also had several juveniles don the County colours whilst representing Meath in the National Community Games finals in Carlow. Congratulations to everyone who qualified but a special mention must go to the U15 mixed 4x100m relay team who brought home a 4th place medal🏅 👏👏.

Great job everyone👌.

Well done to Chucks and Tomek who were part of the Meath team which claimed bronze🥉in the recent National League final in Santry. The team bridged an 18 year gap, having last made the podium in 2008.
Well done also to Tomek on his super 4th place finish in the high jump at the National Senior Championships. He also jumped an impressive pb of 1.98m at the Polish U20 Championships in July💪.

Navan AC had a number of juveniles in action on the final weekend of Nationals🇮🇪 in Tullamore.

Saturday 11th July:
Lucia was in action in the U15 250mH finishing 9th overall, a mere 0.01 secs off making the final. Well done Lucia on a great first season in the event👏.

Sarah ran a strong heat in the U14 200m and was rewarded with a place in the final. A determined run from a difficult lane 1 saw her finish 8th overall. Well done Sarah on making your first National final💪.

🥉Bronze for Ishan🥉
Ishan had a busy day, competing in both the U18 shot and javelin. He finished just off the podium in 4th place in the shot, 20cm shy of bronze. It was a quick dash to the javelin runway where he claimed a brilliant bronze🥉🎉 with his 4th round throw of 46.49m . Huge congratulations Ishan on 2 super performances 👏👏.

Sunday 12th July:
It was the turn of our relay teams and National B competitors to take to the track on yet another sweltering day.

Relays:
Iarlaith, Odhran, Seán and Josh gave it everything in the U13 boys 4x100m finishing just outside the medals in a super 4th place. They can be proud of their performance against the best in the country💪.

Doireann, Sarah, Hayleigh and Lucia made the top 10 in the U15 girls 4x100m. It was a great result for a team that were running together for the first time👏.

B Championships:
Cormac and David were in sprint action in the U12 60m and U14 80m respectively. Cormac placed 5th in his heat, finishing 14th overall. David ran a pb in his heat to finish 15th overall. Well done guys👏.
Kevin(U12) and Iarlaith(U13) took on the 600m in the searing heat. Kevin ran a pb to finish 12th while Iarlaith stayed strong up the home straight to claim 8th place. Earlier in the day, Kevin finished 5th in what was his second ever high jump competition. Great effort boys💪.

Well done to all athletes and a big thank you to the parents and coaches who are constant sources of support.

Last Saturday, several of our adult members went on their annual hike. This time, it was trip to Sligo where they hiked up two trails and also ran in a local Parkrun while over there for a great day out.

Prior to adult training on Tuesday evening, the club presented Meath Civil Defence with a €1000 donation as a gesture of appreciation for everything they have done for the club over the years.

The National Relay Championships take place in Tullamore tomorrow alongside the National B Championships. In relay action will be our U13 Boys and U15 Girls. The very best of luck to Iarlaith, Odhran, Seán, Josh, Doireann, Sarah, Hayleigh and Lucia.💪
