John Walkin, silver medal in 60m dash

John Walkin, silver medal in 60m dash

Connacht Indoors Athlone: Well done to John Walkin who competed in the Senior 60m and got silver. He was delighted with result as he ran his fastest time this year 7.81 and has been only training full time for the past 4 weeks after dealing with injury problems most of this year.

Sunday March 2: Seamus Corbett Memorial Carra Classic 8k  (175 runners joggers and walkers)

Men: 1st Anto Devaney 28.34; 2 Noel Gibbons 28.48; 3 Padraig O’Connor 30.36

Women: 1 Ruth Carney 36.54, 2 Laura Heneghan 37.06, 3 Orla Costello 38.23

Turning a corner ...John Byrne in Meath

Turning a corner …John Byrne in Meath

After his magnificent Masters medal winning cross country race last week, John Byrne returned  to Meath today (Sun)  for the Spring Half Marathon hosted by Bohermeen AC. (656 finishers). He repeated last week’s form and was  just 12 seconds off his PB in finishing a brilliant second in 70.51. Mark Christie (Mullingar Harriers) and an Olympian, was the winner in an impressive 67:16 in blustery conditions. They will both line up in the Rotterdam marathon next month with personal bests high on the agenda. The years slip by quickly in the running world and it will be a big confidence boost for the Straide native that he is achieving half marathon times almost two minutes better than 2007 when he ran 71:29 at Stranraer.

Generali Bohermeen Half Marathon, Co Meath (656 finishers; www.precisiontiming.net)

Men: 1 Mark Christie (Mullingar Hrs) 67.16, 2 John Byrne (Mayo AC) 70.51, 3 Neil Callaghan (Star of the Sea) 72.57. Women: 1 Pauline Curley (Tullamore Hrs) 79.19, 2 Charlotte Kearney (Donadea) 87.15, 3 Aisling Coppinger (W40) 87.18

Sat 1 March

Kinvara 10k:  Margaret Glavey was first o60 in 46:35 and 13th woman overall. Kinvara results are at www.precisiontiming.net
