Three teams made the finals in their respective age groups the Under 15 Boys, Under 17 Men and the Under 20/Senior Men.

The under 20/seniors were competing in an extremely high standard final and for the first time in years did not come away with a medal however they ran a splendid race to come in fifth place with less than two seconds separating the field. 

In the Under 17 men’s event their was a spirited effort once again with the guys right in amongst the action enjoy their race finishing in 6th place.

The clubs top placed team on the day however was the Under 15 Boys. The team of Josh Smith, Jack Edwards, club stalwart Aidyn McMahon and Ethan Logan. They ran a great heat finishing in second place qualifying them for the final. They

continued their excellent form into the final. 

Josh and Jack had fantastic first and second legs giving Aidyn and Ethan a fantastic opportunity to grasp a medal for the team.
