Three of our senior team athletes recently represented their respective universities at the IUAA Intervarsity Indoor Championships in Athlone Institute of Technology on Friday the 8th of February.

On Sunday the 27th of January two of our Senior team athletes represented the club at the National Indoor Junior and Under 23 Championships in Athlone Institute of Technology. Michael O’Sullivan competed in the men’s U23 shot put where he came second and threw a personal best with a throw of 11.21m. Zoe Mohan competed in the junior women’s weight for distance which was the first ever junior indoor weight for distance for women.

The club would like to congratulate Michael and Zoe on their performances and wish our other senior athletes the best of luck with their indoor seasons.

Thank you to all the athletes and their supporters from the many clubs who travelled to take part in our Indoor open sports event today. Well done to everyone and thank you all for supporting the event. Best of luck to all the athletes for the upcoming Leinster indoor competitions.

As always a huge thank you to all our volunteers who helped get the clubhouse ready, helped out on the day and brought goodies for the shop. Without their continued support we would be unable to run our events. Pictures of the days events can be found on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Cushinstown-Athletic-Club.
