13 is not an unlucky number; its the number of individual munster medals won today at a cold nenagh (Can you guess from the picture??)
Pictured are Mal McGlynn, Jim Baldwin, Kieran Leahy, Tom O'Brien, Jacinta Power and Derek Grant.
Fresh from her Female Athlete of the year from Saturday Jacinta kept Nenagh hot with 4 golds in Long and High Jumps, 60m and shot.
Mal was delighted with his 3rd place in the 3K and without any track work in recent months and 5 weeks to go to the nationals, again in Nenagh, he is looking forward to some serious training between now and then.
Derek Grant continued his recent return to form with a battling 3rd in his 800m followed by a very strong 1500m to win silver.
Kieran Leahy won two excellent silvers in his 60m and 200m against unbeaten Richard MacArthur in recent years and Kieran only narrowly lost out in both races and will be gunning to beat Richard at the Nationals. Great to welcome Kieran back to competitive track and nice to see he is close to the action.... and having mastered the block-start he ran a rapid first leg of the 4 x 200m relay to hand over to Jim who passed the banton to Mal who ably passed it Tom who romped home for a well deserved gold for the team.
Tom also won his double jumps titles and slipped in a silver in the 200m and a bronze in the 60m to enjoy an excellent day of (cold and) hot track and field.
Any masters athletes (Over 35+) interested in competing in the national finals on Sunday Jan 23rd contact tom at tom@waterfordac.com or Derek. Go on; you know you want to! Lots of training sessions if you want to get involved.
