Five Records Smashed on Day 3 of the All-Ireland Juvenile Track and Field

Rain of biblican proportions oscillating with intense heat charachterised day three of the All-Ireland juvenile track and field in Tullamore today. While the weather made up its mind what to do, five records tumbled with impressive performances from Freya Renton (Westport) in the girls u15 1500m, Jamie Hyland (SLOT) - boys u17 pole vault, Michael Kent (DMP) - boys u18 pole vault, Darragh Whelan (Limerick) - boys u14 1500m and Lorcan Benjicar (Clonliffe) - boys u19 1500m. The boys u17 pole vault proved to be one of the most exciting competitions with Jamie Hyland surpassing the record no fewer than five times. Elsewhere Daniel Downey (Portlaoise) won the u16 long jump after a scare from John Paul Archbold (Newbridge) who overtook him in the final round. It was the girls u19 200m that had to endure the worst of the elements as Fatima Amusan (Leevale) took the title from Hannah Falvey (Belgooley) in their last ever national juvenile competition.
